Masquerade Read-Along Week # 2

1. Sam is admittedly drawn to Heven before they even meet. Why do think this is?

-I think it's because he feels a sense of responsibility to her. Plus, I think her personality before had a lot to do with it. She had a very charismatic way about her that made people gravitate to her. 

2. In an earlier chapter The Hope states that Sam must prove himself. During these chapters Sam does some things – bad things – (covering up murder, fighting, hiding a body, etc.) all to protect Heven and his true identity. Do you think he was right to do these things?

-I don't think he was right to do the things he did, but I also think he had good intentions. However, I don't see how he was protecting Heven and his identity when he took action.

3. In chapter twelve Kimber says some thing’s to Heven that make the reader wonder about their friendship. Do you think there is any truth Kimber’s drunken confessions? If so where do you think Heven and Kimber’s friendship goes from here?

-I thought Heven forgave Kimber pretty quickly for the things she said. I think Kimber was just insecure in a way. I think maybe there was some truth to what she said, but I think it was unreasonable to be jealous of it. Kimber could be the same way if she wanted to, but she decided to stay in the shadows herself. Well since Heven forgave her in an instant, I guess their friendship goes on normally.

4. Heven is changing, becoming more confident. Do you think that after something like this (her accident and disfigurement) happens to someone that she can ever go back to the person she was before? Do you think she will want to?

-I think she can if she really wanted to. I know it would be hard, but there aren't really any reasons not to since everyone has been accepting. 

5. Toward the end of these set of chapters, Heven finds out Sam’s secret, who he really is. She has a strong reaction. Do you think you would react the same way? Why or why not?

-I think her reaction is pretty understandable since he lied to her and it was something unbelievable. However, I don't know if I would go to the point of possible suicide when he changed and wasn't doing anything to hurt her.
