Markus

Here are some facts we know from When You Reach Me:

• The notes from the Laughing Man suggest Sal will die unless he saves him.
• Markus notices that Laughing Man always avoids him, running away quickly.
• Markus punched Sal because of something his brother said.

In your opinion:

1. How does the Laughing Man know that Sal will die unless he saves him?
2. Why does Markus make the choice to come back and save Sal even though Markus sees the Laughing Man die?
3. Would you change any of the choices that Markus/The Laughing Man made and how would this affect the story?
4. Given that you know Markus comes back to save Sal, how would you describe his personality and character?
