Discussion Questions
Questions:
1. Why do you think Gram surprised Austin and went fishing with him, even though she told him she had work to do in the house?

2. Go back into the text and find examples of descriptive language that allowed you to better visualize the fly-fishing process.

3. On page 39 why did Gram say, "Don't bite your tongue off?" Was Austin really going to bite his tongue off? What context clues led you to your answer.
