Discuss the ending of the book--
Did you like the ending? Why/why not? What do you wish the author had done differently? How did you feel about what happened with Samantha?
Choose one or two questions to respond to--and form a response that is backed up by details. Feel free to make any outside connections (compare to another book or song, compare to your life...)

Write a general response to the book so far. You may want to consider one or more of the following questions, but you do not HAVE to use these-you can come up with your own response!

What sorts of positive hobbies or distractions do you engage in to help you if you are stressed or down? Running? Working out? Talking to a buddy?
