A modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more. For select classroom titles, we also provide Teaching Guides with discussion and quiz questions to prompt student engagement.
Cort’s father leaves him to check on Cort’s mother just as the hurricane is bearing down on their town. To what extent does Cort's father redeem himself by the end of the novel? Consider these points as you formulate a response to the question.
Teaching Suggestion: The discussion connects directly to the themes of Loss and Separation Within the Family and Responsibility Differences Between Children and Adults. Students might complete a journal before or after the discussion focusing on these themes. At one or more points in the discussion, the class might participate in a philosophical line: One end represents Cort’s father completely redeeming himself, and the opposite end represents his failure to achieve that goal. Students stand along the line in the location that best represents what they believe. Students might compare their rationale with those around them before returning to the full-class discussion.
