Week 3: Chapters 13-18
1. 4. Why was Luke surprised when he saw the inside of the Sports Family’s house?
2. Why was Jen able to move around more freely than Luke and have a greater knowledge of the world?
3. Think about the phrase Jen so casually uses to describe Luke when she checked him out on the computer, “you don’t exist.” Describe how that probably made him feel.
4. How is the way Luke’s parents deal with his hiding different from the way Jen’s parents deal with her hiding?
5. The Internet made it possible for Jen and Luke to connect with other hidden children. It helped them build a community of peers. Do you use the Internet to connect with people who share interests with you?

No, I do not use the internet to communicate with people I do not know and I share interests with. Sharing personal information is not a good thing to do.
