They were trying to make a living out of his amazing strength. Though they got lots of money, everyone was “boo”ing him and it hurt him a lot. Do you think that parents should use their child’s gift for money? OR should they let him/her do what they want?

Hidden Personalities
There are people in life that even if you aren't best friends you know their general character. In The Dirty Secrets Club, an assistant District Attorney seems to have committed suicide, no one that knew her believes that she would ever kill herself despite all evidence otherwise. Do you think people are capable of committing random acts that are completely outside of their character?
In my book, Princess Buttercup is kidnapped, and at this point she finally seizes her oppurtunity of escape. She jumps overboard on the boat and tries swimming to shore. But her captors shout to her about the sharks, at first she blows it off, but then they pour blood into the water to attract all the sharks and they come. If you were in her situation, what would you do?

to your little brother if your mother left your family without saying goodbye and sent a couple of e-mails but then suddenly stoped communication all together.
Siblings
Do you have a little brother or sister that depends on you to take care of them? If you do does that responsibility annoy you? Im my book the main character has to take care of he younger brother and she doesn't think that its fair that she should have to take car of him.
First Love
A lot of people say you will never forget your first love. Noah is having trouble forgetting Allie he even left town but that didn't help. What would you do, to try to forget somebody? Would you move far away, get an extremely time consuming job, or just deal with the pain and hope something good happens?
From just friends to family
Do you have older friends so close to you that you eventually consider them family? I am reading the notebook, Noah is in his thirties and his best friend at the time is Gus, a 70 year old black man. Why do you think people befriend older people?
