Final Post - End of Book Thoughts

Your journey with Lily's Crossing has come to an end, I hope you enjoyed it. I want you to spend some time reflecting on the book. Think about the characters, the time period, the main events in the story, what did you enjoy most about the book? Was there anything you didn't like about the book? What did you think about the way the story ended? Was there anything you wish would have happened that didn't?

Please use specific details from the story to support your thinking. Be honest about your feelings and thinking, this is your time to reflect on your book. Make sure to answer ALL questions.

Week 5 Discussion Question

At the end of the story Gram says to Lily, "It was a long war, a terrible war, but sometimes, even in the worst times, something lovely happens." What do you think Gram is talking about? How do you think the war changed Lily? Why do you think she said that even though she was going back to Rockaway to the same ocean and the same house that "things would never be the same again?" Make sure to use details from the story to support your thinking.


Make sure to answer the question with a RAD response and use details from the text to support your answer. Please check your grammar, spelling, capitalization, and conventions before submitting your response.
