pg.65
p.1 I picked this passage because the BFG showed Sophie frobscottle. ACH

pg.85 p.1 I picked this passage because i liked how she figured out how to see the dream. BPH

page 64 I picked this passage because in the book it tells when the BFG shows sophie the the frobcottle. Also when sophie saw the dream. ~KKM~

pg.85 p.4 It was very discripive and it mad ea good visual for the bad dream.

I choose page 84 for this because the BFG and Sophie catch a bad dream, in fact a nightmare.

Then you must respond to at least 2 of your groupmates' questions. Be creative and ask thick questions (avoid yes/no questions or questions that can be answered with just a few words). Will Sophie go back to the orphanage soon? Is frobscottle dangerous? Will the other giants try to hurt the BFG? Do you think the BFG will start being mean to Sophie? ACH ====

will sophie go back to the orphanage? will sophie stay with the BFG? why cant she see dreams anymore? will she be able to see the dreams again? do you predict anything? ~KKM~

Why wont the BFG let sophie see anymore dreams?
Does sophie want to be with the BFG? Will the BFG take sophie back to the orphanage? Does sophie think of the BFG as parent or gaurdian
