1. Do you think Despereaux's siblings wanted Desperoux to be a real mouse or do you think they were okay with the way he was? 2.  Do you think Desperoux liked having all of his brothers and sisters? Why or why not? 3.  Do you think Desperoux was exited when he met princess pea? Why or why not? 4.  Do you think the mouse consul was important? Why or why not? 5.  Do you think Desperoux’s name made him sad that his mother would not have faith in him to live? 6.  Do you think Desperoux thought he was getting enough attention? Why or why not? 7.  Do you like this book so far? Why or why not? ======  We discussed a couple of things about this book so far. We thought his brothers and sisters wanted desperoux to be a normal mouse and not the way he was that is probably why he didn’t like having his brothers and sisters. We also thought desperoux was very exited when he met princess pea because he fell in love with her. Overall we really liked this book!

Despereaux

Despereaux is a mouse.

He lives in a huge house.

He was born small, and his ears were tall

and he was such a great despair.

No one really cared because his love with

Princess Pea he shared.

They tied something around his head, it

was indeed really red thread.

He was taken away into the dungeon

and he was there to stay….

or was he???????

Marshall- The mouse I am talking about is like me because he can fall in love and you can get punishments for that. The punishments I get is from my Dad. Despereaux gets it from other people. Some people don’t want me to like anyone. Despereaux wants to stand up for his love and I do to. He has to be asked lots of questions and we will both stand up even when we are going to be eaten. We want to be with our true love.

he was still himself Natalie- Character Analyzer-

Despereaux's motivation is love. He loves Princess Pea with all his heart. He just keeps going for love.

He doesn't let what other poeple think about him get him down.

He tends to not act like a mouse. Such as, he loves to read stories.

He was born small and he doesn't really act like a mouse should.

If I loved someone I would push as hard as I could to save them or be with them.

Naomi- Theme Detective-

I think the theme of this book is love. Despereaux loved the Princess so much that he risked his life just to save her in the dungeon. Also the king abandoned soup from the palace because the queen died when she was eating soup. That is how much he loved her.

Marshall- Discussion Director- 1. How do you feel about Despereaux? He is a good mouse inside and out. 2. Do you think he should say sorry? No, because he was a very good mouse and was just trying to be himself. 3. Do you think he is crazy? No, he is just being himself.

We said Despereaux was very down to earth because even when his brothers and sisters didn't like him he was still himself. Also, Despereaux was a very good mouse inside and out.

Despereaux's motivation is love. He loves Princess Pea with all his heart. He just keeps going for love.

He doesn't let what other people think about him
