From the book
A prompt from this edition.
Every chapter of the Commonplace Edition closes with a prompt.
Commonplace
“I don’t think I was homesick,” Jim says of that night in the wagon. Yet he imagines his dead parents still looking for him “at the sheep-fold,” feels “erased, blotted out,” and does not say his prayers. How homesick does the boy sound? Underline each sentence that backs Jim up, and bracket each that does not.
