In this part of the book we get to meet someone new. How did Miggery Sow get her name? Does Miggery Sow have a good life? Explain why or why not. If you were Mig, what would you have done in her situation? Mig kept getting 'clouts' to the ear. What is a 'clout'. Discuss how you would feel if you kept getting 'clouts' to the ear because you did not listen. Discuss how you would feel if you had to live like Mig did.
When Mig finally got to leave her 'Uncles' home she went to the castle. Was she treated any better at the castle? Explain how she was treated better. Read the questions below and use them to guide your blog reflection. Make sure to write at least 5-8 sentences reflecting on these questions and your thoughts about Book 2 in Despereaux. In book 2 we get to know a rat instead of a mouse. A rat named Roscuro is related to Despereaux in a few different ways. How is Roscuro different from other rats? Tell how Despereaux and Roscuro's lives cross paths. What are rats suppose to do? Does Roscuro want to be like the other rats? What happens because Roscuro goes upstairs? The narrator talks about consequences and how one action can cause many other things to happen. Have you seen a reaction like this in your life where something you did caused a bad thing to happen? Despereaux gets the chance to deny what he did wrong, and then has the chance to repent for what he did wrong. Do you think Despereaux did the right thing? Would you have done the same thing? We see the word 'purfidy' again, who is the one the word 'purfidy' is used to describe this time?
What happens to Despereaux when he gets to the Dungeon? Do you think he is going to survive? How would you feel if you were in a dungeon like Despereaux is in? Now that you have gotten into the book and learned a little about the characters, tell me what you think about Despereaux. (What kind of person (mouse) is he? Is he like the others? What character traits does her portray?)
How do you feel about what Lester (Despereaux's Father) just did at the end of chapter 8? What do you think about the story so far? Today you learned what we will be doing in TechBook Club. What are you excited about? What do you have more questions about?
