Discussion Questions

• Easy (Recall and Comprehend):

1. What are the names of the two friends in the story?

> Ashley and James

2.Where does the story take place?

> Bookstore

3. What does it mean to “read someone like a book”?

>When they continued browsing, but the moment stuck with James. When Ashley spoke very openly about her feelings for James. James suddenly had an idea. He reached into his bag and took out the book he had taken earlier. He handed it to Ashley, telling her to read the writing on the first page.

To her surprise, it read on the page “To Ashley, the person who read me like a book . Love, James.”

4. How would you describe the relationship between Ashley and James?

> In my opinion, their relationship is  bounded to just friends, both of them are selfish, because they harbor feelings from "just friends" because they are trapped in the Friendzone.

5. What happens at the end of the story?

>They left the bookstore hand in hand

• Intermediate (Analyze and Interpret):

1. Do you believe it is possible to read someone like a book? Why or why not?

>Reading someone like a book, in the sense of fully understanding their thoughts, emotions, and motivations just by observing them, is not generally possible. People are complex beings with a wide range of experiences, emotions, and personal histories that shape their behavior. While it is possible to make educated guesses or interpretations about someone's state of mind or emotions based on their body language, facial expressions, and verbal cues, these interpretations are often subject to error and misinterpretation.

2. Do you believe in the concept of “the one” or do you think there can be multiple people who are a good match for us?

>The concept of "the one" is a romantic notion that suggests there is a single, perfect soulmate or partner out there for each person. Some people may find the concept of "the one" meaningful and use it as a guiding principle in their romantic pursuits, while others may find it limiting and prefer to focus on building healthy, mutually satisfying relationships with individuals they connect with. The most important thing is to find a partner or partners who bring happiness and fulfillment to your life, whether you believe in the concept of "the one" or not.

• Advanced (Analyze and Interpret):

1. Have you ever misjudged someone based on their appearance or behavior, only to later realize you were wrong? Can you share that experience?

>Yes, I have once misjudged someone based on their appearance or behavior, only to realize that I was wrong. When I was in junior high school for the first time, everything was new, the atmosphere was new, even my friends had new faces that I didn't know. One day I was in class with this girl, at first I thought she was a grumbling girl because of her face and indifference which was not my type and I thought of her like that. When I had the opportunity to get to know her more deeply, it turned out that my estimates were wrong. Shee is kind, friendly, and funny.

2. What communication skills can help us avoid misunderstandings and improve our relationships?

> I think,  Be aware of your body language, facial expressions, and tone of voice. These nonverbal cues can convey as much, if not more, information than words. Understand the other person's feelings and point of view. Put yourself in their shoes and show empathy toward their emotions and experiences.
