4. Does this remind you of any other stories you have read? Which ones? Why?
5. What is the most important message that you took from this book?
6. Did this career ever interest you? Do you think that you would suit it? If so/ not, why?
7. Which story did you find the most fascinating/ grusome/ hilarious/ awful? How did the stories in general effect you?
