~ Read by Officer George Panagiotou

Discussion Questions

1. Out of love, Gregory's friends told him the truth. Is this an easy or hard thing to do? Would you do that for a friend? Would you want a friend to do that for you?

2. What do you think of Gregory's move with the note? Would you have taken a different approach? What do you think Sandra will say to Gregory?

3. Gregory and his friends spent a lot of time fixing Gregory up on the outside. But when he got to Sandra's, he focuses on how Sandra is on the inside: being smart and kind. Are both important? Why or why not?
