A modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more. For select classroom titles, we also provide Teaching Guides with discussion and quiz questions to prompt student engagement.

Discussion/Analysis Prompt

How does Changez’s vision of the United States change over the course of the novel? Has your perspective changed? Why or why not?

Teaching Suggestion: If you used the Personal Connection Prompt above, encourage students to return to what they wrote and compare it with what they’ve learned over the course of reading the novel.

Differentiation Suggestion: For students with processing challenges or who experience anxiety in large group discussions, you can begin by completing a whole-group T-chart to compare how Changez’s vision—and their own—has changed.
