The Great Alone by Kristin Hannah

  1. What are some things you learn about Leni from her "Personal Statement" for college that help round out her character for you? What surprises
    you?
  2. We learn more about Matthew in these chapters: Identify one thing that surprises you about Matthew, one thing you preceive to be a strength in his
    character, and one thing that may be a weakness. (That's 3 separate items). Back up your assessments with supporting details and quotations from
    the chapters due for today.
  3. In chapter 21, Matthew reflects that "Leni's heart would always have a broken place" because "it didn't matter how you lost a parent or how great or
    shitty that parent was, a kid grieved forever. Matthew grieved for the mother he'd had. He figured Leni would grieve for the dad she wanted" (290).
    Who are you grieving for?
