Final Blog Post - End of Book Thoughts

Your journey with Homer P. Figg has come to an end, I hope you enjoyed it. I want you to spend some time reflecting on the book. Think about the characters, the time period, the main events in the story, what did you enjoy most about the book? Was there anything you didn't like about the book? What did you think about the way the story ended? Was there anything you wish would have happened that didn't?

Please use specific details from the story to support your thinking. Be honest about your feelings and thinking, this is your time to reflect on your book.

Week 4 Question

Homer begins imagining Harold dying in battle. "I imagine Harold bleeding on the ground, his face getting paler and paler. Harold dead." Why do we always think the worst when reality isn't so bad? Homer is better about thinking the worst then anyone. Why does he always assume bad things are going to happen?
