Q1. How do you like this book?

Q2. P55 When Natatha’s ex-boy friend, Rob recognised that his girlfriend’s shoplifting got busted at the record store , he just ran away from his girlfriend.

If you were Rob, what are you going to do at that moment?

After that incident , Rob apologized to Kelly... Kelly received his apology....

Q3. P76 Natatha asked Daniel if he can prove the existence of love.

“Please. words on paper. Can you use the scientific method on it? Can you observe it, measure it.......Can you grow it in a petri dish or map its gene sequence.”

Do you believe in love ? What can you prove love with ?

Q4 What do you think is the most important X-factor about falling in love with someone?

Q5. If you were undocumented immigrants like Natatha’s family in some country and you were supposed to be deported from the country within 24hours, how would you feel? What are you going to do ? Which one do you want to pack ?

Q6 P160

When your son bring his girlfriend who is white to introduce to you, will you refuse to see her as a Korean American parent? Or Do you have any ideas how to deal with it?

Actually her(a waitress of Korean restaurant) husband didn’t agree their son’s decision but their son and white girlfriend got married.

She missed her son but she couldn’t tell her husband anything about her feeling. She just can see his son on the Facebook.

What a miserable omma?

Q7 “ The sun is also a star, and it’s our most important one” This appears on page 178 for the first time.

Why did the writer choose this title ,“The sun is also a star” for this book. Could you tell us what’s the meaning of this title related to this story?

Q8 Daniel asked Natatha on page 331 “ Of all the people in your family, whose death would you find the most disturbing and why”

Please tell us your own answer like Natatha~~

Q9 Jeremy Fitzgerald spent his time on having sex with his paralegal in the hotel room, so he didn’t meet the judge to appeal Natatha’s deportation. He was late , that’s why Natatha lost her last chance to stay in America. Jeremy’s love changes Natatha’s fate. Jeremy expressed his love to Hannah and he broke up with her on that day.

But Natatha didn’t know the secret that a lawyer didn't meet the judge.

She just thought that the judge didn’t accept her last hearing.

When you should make excuses to Natatha, what kind of things will you say to her as a lawyer or a friend whatever?

“They have a sense that love changes all things all the time. That’s what love is for”(P334)

Do you agree with this ,“love changes all things all the time” or not ?
