Chapter 16 Summary/Discussion ?s

   Evening came and Kira went to Thomas' room for a lunch break.  Thomas explains that he carved a key for Jo's room, and Kira and Thomas go to visit her.   Jo is afraid at first, but Kira lulls her and she asks them if they heard her beautiful singing.  Thomas and Kira said they would come visit her anytime  she needed help or comfort only.  They decide that Jo has to signal them to come by thumping on the ceiling of her room.  Jo finally said she wanted the freedom to sing her songs as she always did.  Kira felt the same way.

Discussion ?s
1) Why did they decide thumping as a signal for Jo?  How is Jo going to remember if she is only a toddler?  Do you think Kira will enjoy Jo or will it be time-consuming?
2) Why do they don't let Jo sing freely?  Is it because she is young and the guardians don't want her to disturb anyone?  Is because they want her to sing special songs to create the future?  Explain your thinking.
3) Discuss Kira's kindness for others.  Why does she want to help others all the time?
