Global Read Aloud 2014 discussion

In chapter 22, Hazel thinks "My old man. He always knew just what to say." What is your sense of her father? Does he come across as a really strong character, or does his conversation with her surprise you?

The conversation he has with Hazel doesn't surprise me, you kinda see it coming. A quiet character in a story that doesn't talk much always ends up giving good advice or saying something really really good. I guess you can say he does come off as a strong character because whenever he does talk he says something really smart that ends up helping Hazel in the end.

i agree this did not surprise me like you said the quite characters usually give great advise to the main character
