GUS AND HAZEL MEET WITH THE AUTHOR, PETER VAN HOUTEN, IN AMSTERDAM.  THIS IS HAZEL'S DREAM BECAUSE SHE LOVED HIS BOOK, AN IMPERIAL AFFLICTION. WHEN THEY GO TO HIS HOUSE, HE IS DRINKING AND DOESN'T EVEN WANT TO TALK TO THEM.  HAZEL TRIES TO ASK HIM ABOUT THE BOOK BUT HE REFUSES TO TALK ABOUT IT.

OPTION 1: HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF YOU WERE IN THAT SITUATION?  WHAT WOULD YOU DO?  WHAT WOULD YOU HAVE SAID TO HIM?  WHAT COULD HAZEL AND GUS HAVE DONE DIFFERENTLY?  

OPTION 2: HOW DO YOU REACT WHEN YOU ARE DISAPPOINTED BY SOMETHING THAT YOU WANTED SO MUCH? HOW DO YOU EXPRESS YOUR DISAPPOINTMENT?  HOW DO YOU GET OVER IT? WHAT ABOUT THE QUOTES BELOW?
