1. Does David meet your definition of a hero from the Discussion Board back in Module 2? Why/Why Not? Which character causes the greatest change in David?
2. The Crooked Man offers David pointed advice, “truth about the world to which he so desperately wants to return.” He says that the world is a horrible place and that the life David left behind “is no life at all” (Connolly 318). Is David’s fantasy world truly a better place than the real world? Does David have a life in either world? Why or why not?

  1. How did you react to the ending?  Did you find it sad/uplifting/hopeful?  If you could rewrite the ending, would you?  What would your ending be?
