I did this with my exes son and "Tom Sawyer", he did not like to read so I drew him into the story through conversation and it worked, he did very well on the report. Set up a system where he reads 2-3 chapters and then you do or get two copies and stay ahead of his questions. I would imagine they were given a list to choose from, I always was in this type assignment. This is a great chance for some serious discourse between you and your son, take advantage of it as a solid intelligent Christian and lead him to a higher learning.Goathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11263194970690639096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-1141880678336027102006-03-09T00:04:00.000-05:002006-03-09T00:04:00.000-05:00Pero, He's seen the movie before.

But the movie doesn't mention the fact that the man wothout a face is gay, and a possible child molestor, which changes the whole point of the story. <BR/><BR/>In the movie, he is shunned because he is ugly. In the book it is because the townspeople fear he will molest the boy.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15633208787250567256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-1141880470253812312006-03-09T00:01:00.000-05:002006-03-09T00:01:00.000-05:00That was very entertaining, Mark.....I can almost ...That was very entertaining, Mark.....I can almost picture your head spinning.

But, like I said, I haven't read the book, so I may be wrong.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15633208787250567256noreply@blogger.com
