- Reading
- As you read, notice when Ben's certainty affects his choices or relationships. You could pause afterwards to compare how he understands his future with how those around him see it.
- Themes
- Belief and identity: Ben believes he is destined to grow wings and fly, and blames gravity for keeping him grounded. His certainty appears central to how he understands himself and his future.
- Acceptance and relationships: Ben's belief puzzles and worries his family and friends; he wonders whether they will accept what he sees as his destiny. The premise places a difference in belief alongside a wish for acceptance.
- Worth knowing
- Ben's family and friends are described as perplexed and worried by his belief. If family reactions are a sensitive subject for your reader, this relational strain may be worth noting.
