Some questions to lead our discussion of the final chapters of My Brother Sam is Dead.
1. Tim does not know the details of his father's death, or even where is body is. How would you feel if you were left in the dark about these facts?
2. Betsy states that she doesn't care who wins the war, she just wants it to end. Despite having strong feelings about the fight initially, do you think you would react the same as Betsy?
3. Do you think Tim resents Sam and the war for hlding him back from getting his education?
4. Sam is accused of stealing his own family's cattle. Do you think this action would be true to his character traits?
5. How do you think Tim felt while he was waiting to talk to General Putnam?
6. how did you feel when Mother let Tim run out and try to save Sam? Did you agree with her surrender?
7. How did you react to the book's ending? Do you think it was a good ending? Would you change anything?
