Once you have written your post, read the posts of your classmates. Choose at LEAST one person to respond to, and respond to their ideas, or the question they have answered, in an intelligent and interesting way.

**Question 1:** At the end of chapter ten, why is Griffin **the only one who knows** that he tried to give up during the fight? How does Griffin's "lack of control" during the fight connect to the rest of his life? What does this event **symbolize**?

**Question 2**: In chapter thirteen, Griffin has nightmares about the children he is learning about. Explain why he has these nightmares and what he means when he says their “eyes are empty”. How has Griffin changed over the last thirteen chapters, and how are his ideas about the "protest of silence” changing?

**Question 3:** Do you think it is important that Griffin is learning about child soldiers? Why is it important (or not important) for him to know what is happening in another part of the world? Do you think this experience will have an effect on him? How?
