"On the Rainy River" Questions

Questions for pg 42-56 “On the Rainy River”
Answer these on a blank sheet of paper, then write the paragraphs for the bottom two prompts:
1.     What were Tim’s options once he received his draft notice?
2.     Who did he hold responsible for his situation?
3.     What does Tim say is Elroy Berdhal’s role in his life?
4.     What sort of person was Elroy? How did Tim know?
Once you answer the questions, write paragraphs answering these two ideas (be prepared to discuss)
      Where I told you to stop reading, Tim asked the reader what he or she would do (pg 56). What would you do? Why? (one paragraph)


      What was Elroy Berdhal’s role the day they went fishing?
