Shades of Simon Gray Master
Packet 2019 Honors
All answers should be be in complete sentences and are at least a paragraph
in length. If you haven't quoted a couple things, with a page number, you
should've. By the end of the novel
these answers will be a great study guide. Don't forget I.S.Q.A. method for the questions
with a number in boldface. It is
the only answer I am checking for credit.
