‭Elsewhere‬‭Group‬‭Discussion‬‭(50%‬‭C1)‬

‭ ask‬‭:‬‭In‬‭teams‬‭of‬‭4,‬‭you‬‭will‬‭discuss‬‭the‬‭following‬‭questions‬‭on‬‭the‬‭novel‬‭Elsewhere‬‭.‬‭You‬‭will‬
T
‭be‬‭evaluated‬‭on‬‭your‬‭participation‬‭(questions,‬‭reactions)‬‭in‬‭the‬‭discussion‬‭and‬‭the‬
‭content‬‭of‬‭your‬‭answers‬‭(see‬‭Evaluation‬‭Grids‬‭on‬‭Classroom).‬

‭ reparation:‬‭Take‬‭some‬‭notes‬‭on‬‭the‬‭following‬‭questions‬‭as‬‭you‬‭will‬‭discuss‬‭some‬‭of‬‭them‬
P
‭in‬‭your‬‭evaluation.‬‭BE‬‭CAREFUL:‬‭you‬‭should‬‭not‬‭simply‬‭be‬‭reading‬‭your‬‭answers‬‭during‬‭the‬
‭group‬‭discussion,‬‭therefore‬‭you‬‭may‬‭print‬‭your‬‭answers‬‭for‬‭the‬‭day‬‭of‬‭the‬‭evaluation‬‭but‬
‭make‬‭sure‬‭you‬‭are‬‭able‬‭to‬‭talk‬‭about‬‭them‬‭without‬‭reading!‬

I‭f‬‭you‬‭were‬‭Liz,‬‭how‬‭would‬‭you‬‭have‬‭reacted‬‭“waking‬‭up”‬‭on‬‭the‬‭boat‬‭and,‬‭later,‬‭arriving‬‭at‬
‭Elsewhere?‬

I‭‬‭think‬‭I‬‭would‬‭find‬‭it‬‭wonderful‬‭because‬‭it‬‭will‬‭give‬‭me‬‭more‬‭time‬‭to‬‭enjoy‬‭life.‬‭Otherwise,‬‭I‬
‭would‬‭be‬‭dead.‬‭I‬‭wonder‬‭how‬‭people‬‭who‬‭committed‬‭suicide‬‭take‬‭it.‬

‭ ow‬‭is‬‭Elsewhere‬‭different‬‭from‬‭Earth?‬‭What‬‭do‬‭you‬‭think‬‭about‬‭these‬‭differences?‬‭Is‬‭it‬
H
‭better‬‭or‬‭worse‬‭than‬‭Earth?‬

‭Way‬‭more‬‭calm‬‭than‬‭america.‬‭People‬‭are‬‭happy.‬

‭ iz's‬‭relationship‬‭with‬‭her‬‭family‬‭and‬‭friends‬‭is‬‭very‬‭important‬‭to‬‭her.‬‭How‬‭do‬‭you‬‭think‬‭you‬
L
‭would‬‭feel‬‭if‬‭you‬‭could‬‭no‬‭longer‬‭be‬‭with‬‭your‬‭loved‬‭ones?‬‭Who‬‭would‬‭you‬‭miss‬‭the‬‭most?‬

I‭‬‭would‬‭miss‬‭all‬‭my‬‭entourage,‬‭both‬‭my‬‭family‬‭and‬‭my‬‭friends,‬‭but‬‭also‬‭other‬‭things‬‭like‬
‭travel‬‭because‬‭I‬‭don't‬‭think‬‭we‬‭can‬‭travel‬‭on‬‭elsewhere.‬

‭What‬‭are‬‭the‬‭Observation‬‭Decks‬‭in‬‭"Elsewhere,"‬‭and‬‭how‬‭do‬‭they‬‭work?‬

‭You‬‭can‬‭see‬‭on‬‭earth‬‭and‬‭you‬‭have‬‭to‬‭pay‬‭to‬‭use‬‭it.‬

‭ hat‬‭do‬‭you‬‭think‬‭about‬‭the‬‭idea‬‭of‬‭the‬‭Observation‬‭Decks?‬‭Would‬‭you‬‭want‬‭to‬‭use‬‭the‬
W
‭Observation‬‭Decks‬‭if‬‭you‬‭could?‬‭Would‬‭you‬‭become‬‭addicted?‬
I‭‬‭think‬‭I‬‭would‬‭quickly‬‭become‬‭an‬‭addict‬‭because‬‭I‬‭am‬‭too‬‭curious.‬‭I‬‭think‬‭it‬‭is‬‭a‬‭great‬‭idea‬
‭but‬‭it‬‭should‬‭be‬‭a‬‭time‬‭limit‬‭and‬‭psychological‬‭help‬‭for‬‭the‬‭addicts‬‭cause‬‭it‬‭certainly‬‭shows‬
‭problems‬‭in‬‭their‬‭lives.‬

‭ hat‬‭special‬‭job‬‭does‬‭Liz‬‭have‬‭in‬‭"Elsewhere,"‬‭and‬‭why‬‭is‬‭it‬‭important?‬‭What‬‭do‬‭you‬‭think‬
W
‭your‬‭avocation‬‭would‬‭be?‬

‭ iz‬‭is‬‭like‬‭an‬‭acclimation‬‭counselor‬‭but‬‭for‬‭animals,‬‭especially‬‭dogs.‬‭I‬‭would‬‭try‬‭something‬
L
‭very‬‭different‬‭like‬‭a‬‭businessman‬‭cook‬‭maybe.‬

‭What‬‭is‬‭the‬‭Sneaker‬‭Clause?‬‭Would‬‭you‬‭take‬‭it?‬‭Why‬‭or‬‭why‬‭not?‬

‭ he‬‭sneaker‬‭clause‬‭give‬‭the‬‭right‬‭to‬‭be‬‭send‬‭back‬‭to‬‭earth‬‭in‬
T
‭I‬‭think‬‭it‬‭is‬‭a‬‭stupid‬‭thing‬‭to‬‭do.‬‭You‬‭have‬‭the‬‭chance‬‭to‬‭restart‬‭your‬‭life‬‭but‬‭you‬‭decide‬‭to‬
‭become‬‭another‬‭person.‬‭Pretty‬‭equivalent‬‭at‬‭suicide‬‭for‬‭me.‬
