Questions 1-5 of 25:

1.

Why are the pastries important to Ettie? (from Part III: Water, Chapter 4)

They are something she is able to do for Iza and Domokos to make the day special.

She doesn't like Terez's baking so is showing that hers is better.

They are the only thing she is still able to make.

She likes them and wants to eat them.

2.

What does the silent conversation between Antal and Ettie suggest about their relationship? (from Part I: Earth, Chapter 1)

They aren't communicating so don't understand each other at all.

They know each other well and are close.

They are both psychic.

Antal has done this many times before and so knows what family members think when a loved one is dying.

3.

Why does Iza want to avoid speaking to Kolman? (from Part IV: Air, Chapter 3)

She does not like Kolman and always tries to avoid him.

She has not slept well and is too tired to see people.

She is uncomfortable with her emotions and does not want him to pity her.

She is worried that he will praise her and she does not want to be told positive things on a difficult day.

4.

What is happening when Vince realizes that one day he and Ettie will also die, and hopes that he will not notice it? (from Part III: Water, Chapter 3)

He thoughts are tempting fate by considering his own mortality.

He is expressing a universal wish that does not have any particular meaning.

He is just feeling upset because Iza is leaving, and that draws his thoughts to morbid topics.

His thoughts foreshadow Ettie's actions in not telling him about his diagnosis.

5.

Why is Lidia upset that Iza tried to give her money for caring for Vince? (from Part IV: Air, Chapter 3)

She is offended that Iza would try to give her money for something that was personally important.

It is against the rules for her to accept money from patients' families and she does not want to get in trouble.

It is culturally inappropriate for money to change hands following someone's death.

She expected there to be more money because she has gone above and beyond what was necessary.
