“Apprentices”
What is the significance of the title of this chapter? Look for examples in the chapter which illustrate “apprenticeship” in Brent and the children. (Hint: In one sense, Brent is an apprentice to the children. In another, the children are apprentices to Brent. What are each learning from the other?)
There is a larger sense of apprenticeship in the story. Indeed, apprenticeship is a theme in the book. Ask yourself, “What is Brent learning? What is his master?” Discuss this theme. Use details from the story.
