Charmee’s comments from the E-xraordinary E-reads group.

Hey Everyone!
I picked this book up at a Walmart near my place off the 30% off rack. I read the back and the first chapter and it seemed like a gooder! So this month it is one of our group books! Yay! After reading here are some group questions that we can answer! :)

1) Do you ever believe that it is ever justified for a company to put people at risk? When, and how much risk?

2) What lengths would you go to for your sibling? Would you make the same choices Dana and Julie made?

3) Do you think of Peyton as a typical teenager? What makes her unique?

4) A major theme of Invisible is the idea of going home again. Has Dana outgrown her hometown? What does this mean to you?

5) If Dana's sister had not died, do you believe she would have made the same crusade against nanochemicals? If she had re-turned to Black Bear for unrelated reasons, do you thing she would have taken up the cause? Why or why not?

6) Is there a company of industry that you would want to shut down?

7) On Page 280, Eric says to Payton "Sometimes I feel like I've lost you, which is dumb." He reaches up and set his baseball cap facing forward again. "Because how can you lose something you never really had in the first place." Do you believe this is true?

8) Is Brian Gerkey a villain? Why or Why not?

9) On page 293 to 294 Dana narrates. A tube of sunscreen poked out of my purse. I'd automatically started to apply it that morning and caught myself just in time. A new tube, an expensive brand filled with antioxidants. I couldn't bring myself to throw it out. Was the danger in the manufacturing process, or in the product itself? Until I knew, I'd hold on to it, just in case. It would serve as a reminder for all the other things I'd have to watch for.
What would you do if you found out that you had to live your life constantly checking products to see if the had something that you believe harmful? People already do this for other things, like cholesterol, or sodium. How would you manage if every product you used you had to carefully review?

10) If you knew you were to survive, would you willingly donate a kidney if there were only a chance that the person you were donating it would survive? If so, what would the chance have to be before you would agree to do it?

11) How are Dana and Julia alike? How are they different? How do siblings help shape your worldview and personality?

And of course the last but not least how do you like the book?

Just finished To Kill a Mockingbird a few days ago, I have to say that it was well written. If we had not had the beginning as it was the ending would not have made any sense. At the beginning I found the book quite slow. We were basically getting to know the characters and their lifestyle. We also got an idea of how life was like in that time. The trial for me was a bit confusing at times, but after reading it over a couple times it made more sense. I was quite surprised at the end that even though the trial found him guilty most of the people in the community did not think that. It brings me to think, how many other people in the world know something is wrong and unjust but keep quiet. What would happen if the people would have spoken up? Why didn't they?

Yuppers! I feel the same way! I really enjoy eliraries! The amount of books that are there just astounds me every time, having an ereader I find saves me so much time! If im done a book it is so much quicker to get a book over the Internet than going to the store, especially when the nearest book store for me is an hour away

Sounds Good! Add away! :) I am very excited about the hobbit too! I hear that it is an excellent book that everyone should read t least once. :)

Happy readings,
Charmee

Christine I have added the to books that you have suggested t our bookshelf! :)

Hey Everyone!
Everyone has books that they want to read! Comment and tell me what books you want to have
E-xtraordinary E-reads have! :D

Every once and a while it is a great idea to look at some genres that you normally do not read. For me it was classics yours might be different. I encourage each and every one of you to set a reach (a goal of a genre that you normally don't read that you are going to read) Everyone's reach may be different. I hope that you can all share you reaches so that we all may encourage and help complete everyone's reach goals.
To Kill a Mockingbird is a book that has changed alot of peoples way of looking at the world today. I encourage everyone to at least try it! If you love it GREAT we'd love to hear why! If you hate it we would also like to hear why. There is nothing better than discussing a book with people that have also read it.
The more participation there is in comments and discussion of books, the funner it wil be for everyone! :D
