Lesson 1 (from Part I (Pages 1 - 61))
Objective
The objective of this lesson is for students to compare and contrast the characters of Jordan and Edward. Jordan is 15 at the time of the plane crash - brash, confident, and sometimes angry. He has just started his first romantic relationship with a girl. Eddie is 12, serious, smart, attached to his parents, and still more little-boy than teenager. Eddie and Jordan are unusually close given the fact that they are home-schooled by their father. Eddie adores his older brother.
Lesson
Class Discussion: How would you describe Jordan's personality? What is Napolitano trying to show with Jordan's refusal to go through airport security the usual way in Part I? What does Eddie seem to think of his brother? How would you describe Eddie's personality? What do you think are some of the biggest differences between the two brothers?
