Chapters 8 - 11 Discussion Questions

Chapter 8 "Charmed"
  1. Why does Griffin act so differently at the grocery store?  What does this tell you about his character?

Chapter 9 "Gum"
  1. Were you surprised that Eric confronts Griffin about how he was acting in front of his mom?
  2. Which Griffin is the "true" Griffin?

Chapter 10 "Friend"
  1. Why does Eric lie to his mother?  What does this tell you about his character?  What does this tell you about Griffin's influence on Eric?
  2. Both Eric and Griffin tell each other about their fathers.  Who does most of the talking?  Why do you think Eric tells Griffin so much about his life when it seems like he does not trust him very much?
  3. Does Eric have a friend in Griffin?  Why or why not?

Chapter 11 "Crazy"
  1. We find out more about Eric's father.  Can a person always know everything about everyone?  Even our best friends?  Our parents?
  2. Do we all carry around "baggage"?  Defend your answer.  How can that "baggage" affect our everyday lives?

  1. Chapter 8 1. I think Griffin acts different because hes not with his "Posse"
    Chapter 9 1. I was a little surprised because griffin is Eric's friend 2. the true griffin is the one when Eric's at Griffins house
    Chapter 10 1. Griffins influence on Eric is bad because Griffins making Eric make bad choices. 2. Eric talked the most because he probably felt like he needed to tell someone about it. 3. Griffin seems like he could be Eric's friend but maybe if he stopped being a bully.
    Chapter 11 1. You can not know everything about someone because no matter how close they will not tell you everything. 2. Almost all of us can have "Baggage" because no one tells there secrets something we have done.
