Mina’s family believes that she has bonded erroneously with a lightning beast. Based on Mina’s experience at the Mytris Lightning School, are their concerns justifiable? Discuss two moments when Mina complicates their assumptions.

Pixit is the only storm beast with a voice in the novel and that is because he has a telepathic connection with Mina. How would the narrative change if all the storm beasts spoke or if Pixit didn’t have a voice?

Do you think yellow is an appropriate color for Pixit? Why or why not? Consider the symbolism of the color as you develop your answer.
