Group Discussions Chapter 11
You will have 20 minutes to discuss (as a group) the following questions based on
chapters 9, 10, and 11. Then we will share and discuss as a class. You will need one
member to record your responses, one/two member(s) to be the text master(s) (finding
textual support, providing page numbers for answers) and one member to speak on behalf
of the group.
1. How does the monster explain his evil behavior?
2. Why does the creature compare himself to the biblical character Adam? Do you
think this comparison is accurate? Why or why not?
3. List and describe two early experiences the creature has as he comes to life and
moves from place to place. For each experience, what are the creature’s
thoughts/feelings?
4. What does the creature learn about “man” and what does he think of man and
society?
5. How is the creature similar to or different from your initial impressions?
How/Why does your opinion change now that we are hearing his point of view?
