The Revealers - isolation

Isolation also plays an important role in the book. How did each character experience isolation in the first half of the story? Do you think this made them easy targets? After the main characters found each other, explain how things began to change.

The Revealers - taking control

Most of the experiments revolved around taking control away from the bullies. Give an example of how each main character took power away from a bully.  Were they successful? Last, do you think regaining control from the bullies is key to ending their suffering? Why or why not?

The Revealers - experiments

The main characters become a sort of pack of scientists. What were their first three experiments? What sort of immediate effects did these experiments cause? Use specific examples from the text. Finally, if you could put yourself in their place, why kind of experiment would try? What would you expect the outcome to be?

The Revealers - technology

Technology plays a big part in the book. As Mr. Dallas said on page 78, "Experimentation, communication--that's what this us about, right?" Describe two examples of how characters used technology and discuss the impact each instance had on the characters' lives.
