Betrayal is important because it has to happen. Lyra had to betray Roger so he would be a sacrifice to get to the other world.
Who betray's whom? Why?
Lyra betrays Roger although she did not do this intentionally,. THey were going to her uncles for protection not to sacrifice him.
Is Lyraa's understanding of betrayal the same as ours?
No we would not see this as betrayal because she did not know this was going tro happen. We view betrayal as intentionally setting a person up.

Discuss the reason(s) you chose the book that will become the topic of your third essay. Did you choose it for the story? the illustrations? the controversial topic it covers? Is it a book that you can relate to on a personal level or one that you think would be helpful to someone that you know?

I choose this book because i like the story. I choose it because i think it can help children cope with moving or switching schools or losing someone they love. Even though this book is about the asian camps i feel it can relate in a greater sense.
