Please read Chapter 11 and respond to the following prompts.
1. The first page does a great job of delineating between "book" learning and "life" learning. How is this accomplished? Ultimately though, does life bring understanding? (use only pg. 48)
2. Define "moiety." Don't worry if you struggle with it, Mr. Kelly didn't know it either.
3. What is a "Pom"? Look it up. Who does sit apply to in this chapter?
4. On page 51 who is "you people" and what are they looking for?
5. I think the following quote is really true. What do you reckon? "...I had not understood, just as I had not understood the words of the songs I had listened to this morning, though I would take them with me for all time" (52-53). I guess what I like about is that we often think we take answers or truth with us. But what really sticks with me is what I don't understand... How about you?
6. Who wrote the book? Does this come as a surprise?
7. Why is the Sickness Country called what it is?
8. What piece of news really caught Almut's attention?
9. Who are the Aborigines "hanging around the big cities" and why did they end up there?
10. What has cured Alma?
