Homework:  Read and annotate The Misfits.

Write two textually based discussion questions. 

One inferential question which seeks either a deeper or clearer understanding a specific line/passage/character, etc. 
and 
one evaluative question in which you try to make some connection between a passage and corresponding issue raised in the text and the world you live in?  Evaluative questions basically ask us to apply questions/ideas raised in the text to the real world.
