Week 3 Discussion Question - Wyman

In the section "Once There Was..." Kek is feeling many things about attending school. He is excited because "to go to school and learn is a fine honor." But he is also worried because "I don't know so many things. I don't even know what I don't know!" What from this section helps us understand why Kek thinks school is such a 'fine honor?' Do we feel the same way about school in the U.S., why or why not? What does Kek mean by 'I don't even know what I don't know!'? Make sure to use details from the story to support you answer.

Week 3 Discussion Question:

In the chapter, Field Trip, Kek has a new experience, just as he has at the grocery store and library. At the zoo, he really watches the people. Think about all of his experiences and reread pages 148-149. What is the heavy burden Kek carries with him?

Week 2 Discussion Question

We begin to learn a little about Kek's life and his family. Kek has strong feelings about his brother Lual in the chapter called "Brother." He tells us that sometimes Lual scolded him, like his father, and teased him, but that he "would give all the beds in all the great world to feel the sharp thorn of Lual's scolding once again." If his brother was so mean to him why does he miss him so much? What can you infer happened to his brother? How do you think this changes Kek?
