Change of Scenery
1. In what ways did the characters in The Snow Rocket change as a result of their journey? As a result of their interactions with others? As a result of their feelings of being disoriented and lost? That is, what was it, specifically about that journey that affected them?
2. Did Romeo and Lou actually change at all? Or did they return home different somehow? You will need to provide evidence for your assertion.
3. Thinking about the cave allegory, where did Romeo and Lou fit? Were they the chained-up prisoners? Were they the passers-by? Someone else? Again, support your points.
4. Spend some time with the allegory of the cave. Explain it and offer some unpacking of it. This should be done before you actually use it to answer #3 above.
