Happy Middle-of-the-Week Day!

Discussion questions over Scenes 1-57 in WTWTA:

Which characters were added to the script?  Why were they added?  What purpose does their presence serve?
The book doesn’t specify why Max is being a terror.  What did the screenplay writers do to justify his behavior?
What does Max do to be a terror?
What do the screenwriters do to make viewers (and readers) empathize with Max?  In other words, how do we know that he is a good kid at heart?
What is the purpose of the teacher’s voice over (VO)?  What does it show us about Max?
What does Max’s wolf suit represent?  How does Max act when he does not have his wolf suit on?
What is the famous line from the book that Max shouts at his mother during the kitchen scene?
How does the boat in the middle of a huge ocean serve as a metaphor for how Max feels? How do we know he feels this way?

BE PREPARED FOR A QUIZ OVER THE 5 ELEMENTS OF STORY STRUCTURE AND THE SCREENPLAY - FRIDAY!
