Blog Questions

1. Why did Peter throw the rock?

I think this question isn't quite deep enough. Obviously he threw the rock because he strongly disliked Sir Phillip. A way the writer could improve this question is by saying "Why did Peter leap at the opportunity at injuring Sir Phillip? Why does Sir Phillip react the way he did?" This modified question makes it easier for the responder to reply and expand.

2. Why did Peter join the actors?

This question has a lot in common with the first one; they’re both not very deep. A suggestion I would make to improve this question is, “How did Peter joining the actors affect his journey?"

3. In the novel, many people carry pistols and swords. Do you think death is a justified punishment? Peter could’ve been tortured for information. Are these violent methods of getting things you want right?

This is a great question. One thing that could be changed though is the justified punishment changed to justified punishment for crime. Also, the second part of the question should be changed to "Do these violent methods of punishment work just as well as non-violent ones just as jail?"

4. Do you think is Sir Philip Caught Peter, would he be part of his plans to kill Queen Elizabeth?

This question has a few spelling and grammar mistakes. Also, “his” (the pronoun) should be clarified.

5. Can a person be a hero without being important?

This is a good question, but it’s a bit vague. What kind of person? What scenario? Try changing it to, “When put in a type of scenario, can someone act like a hero?”
