Creative connector: 

Cassiel comes to a new home that he knows nothing about. I want to connect this to highschool/collage. It´s the equivalent to the swedish gymnasium. Because when you start highschool/collage i can imagine it´s the same feeling that´s Cassiel´s feeling. You are in a new place that you know nothing about, but you know you have to fit in to have a chance. If you don´t fit in and learn the ”rules”, then it can go bad for you. Like in Cassiels case, if he doesn´t fit in he will be caught for not being the real Cassiel. And when you start highschool/collage you have to adjust to to the new environment to not fail. 

Character tracer: Frank.

I think Frank is a very nice person, since on page 93 the mom says that Cassiel can borrow some of Franks clothes and when Cassiel then meet Frank he think it´s totally ok. And When Cassiel was gone Frank bought a house for his mom and his sister. Thats two typical things that makes him so nice. He is also very rich because otherwise he would not have been able to afford the house.

Even if Cassiel have been gone for such a long time, Frank is still very friendly towards him and gives him love.

Summarizer:

Chap and Cassiel turnes out to be twins. And Frank killed the real Cassiel. When this comes out Frank goes to jail. When they were small they were taken away and only one was returned, Cassiel. Chap on the other hand was not returned. And now he comes to his  real family without knowing it. In the whole book he has been fooling the family to think that he is Cassiel but then he gets surprised when he realize he is the one that has been fooled. 

Discussion leader:

What do you think went through Cassiel´s mind when he first saw Frank? How would you have acted in that situation?

At page 122 Frank says that he thinks it´s strange that he and Cassiel have been in the same town all this time without seeing etch other. Do you think he doubts if it´s the real Cassiel ore not? Why would he say that? What do you think about it?

What did you think when the car pulled up at their house and no one knew who it was?
