- In the beginning of the chapter, how is Arthur feeling? Why? What does his mother tell him to try and help him feel better?
- Arthur felt bad and jealous of Stanley because no one was interested at him because other people were only interested at Stanley. Mrs. Lambchop told Stanley to make Arthur happy by telling Arthur a good news that he can go to perform on TV. Mrs. Lambchop didn’t tell Stanley to go to TV but Stanley wanted to bring Arthur to TV to make him happy.
- What does Teddy Talker want with Stanley? Why?
- Teddy Talker wants to know how Stanley got invisible and it is strange so that is why he wants to know about it.
- Does Stanley want to go? Why does he agree to go?
- Stanley didn’t want to go but he agreed that he would go and appear on TV. Stanley agreed to go because he wants to help Arthur to perform on TV.
- In your own words, tell me who the other three guests on the show were.
- The three guests on the TV show were the pretty woman that won the beauty prize, the man that won the tennis champion and the woman that wrote the book about sausage.
- When Teddy tells the audience that Stanley’s brother is going to come out, how do they feel? Why?
- When Teddy told the audience that Arthur is going to come out the audience was sad and don’t want to look at the show that Arthur is performing because they thought that they would meet Stanley the invisible boy.
- Explain one of Arthur’s two jokes in your own words (either the king joke or the well joke).
- Arthur’s first joke is about where the king puts his armies. The king puts the armies in his sleevies. The armies in the joke means arm and the sleeves is part of shirt. It means the king put his arms in the sleevies.
- How does Arthur know Teddy’s card is the four of hearts?
- Arthur knows that Teddy’s card is four of hearts because all the cards that he has are four of hearts.
- Why can’t Arthur do the card trick again, using the same cards? What is his solution?
- Arthur can’t do the trick again so he uses a new strategy but Stanley helps him. This time one audience comes to play a trick with Arthur. His solution is Stanley comes and looks at the audience’s card then he tells Arthur the card that the audience had. Arthur can’t do the trick again because if he uses the same cards then the audience will say that he lied to them. The past tense of lie is lied. I changed it for you.
- What are some of the tricks that Henry does?
- Henry’s trick was to fly. That time he jumped very high to fly.
- How does Arthur make it look like he is controlling the frog?
- Arthur makes it look like he was controlling the frog by having Stanley help him. When the frog makes a circle then Stanley holds Henry and makes a circle.
- What does Arthur tell the audience at the end? Why do you think he does this?
- Arthur tells the audience most of the tricks he didn’t do by himself but Stanley helped him. He does this because he didn’t want to lie to the audience. Also Mrs. Lambchop told Arthur not to lie to other people and it is not good and it is not a good thing or behavior for a kid.
- When Stanley is talking to Teddy, what does he say about being invisible? Are they all good things?
- Stanley said being invisible no it hard like when he walks on a street or when he walks no one can see him so other people just walk and hit Stanley. Another thing is he just keeps reminding other people where he was or where he is. All of those things are not good because Stanley can get hurt and tired to keep reminding other people.
- When you read Invisible Stanley do you think its too hard, medium or easy? How much do you think you understand on a scale of one (nothing) to ten (everything)?
- When I read invisible Stanley I think it medium for me but sometime also it hard to understand the long chapter. On the scale of one I think I understand about 7-8.5 because when I read with the group make me easier and when I don’t know something they can tell me.
