Discussion Director Questions for Journey of the Sparrows

1. Why are Maria and her siblings escaping?
2. How realistic is this scenerio of three young people leaving their country without their parents to an unknown future?
3. What kind of conditions would it take for (you) as a parent to let your children leave without you?
4. What's the significance of the title?
5. How does Maria's skill as an artist give her an edge over other illegal immigrants?

  1. 3. If I were a parent, the conditions for my children to leave without me would have to be life threatening. If my children were in danger, and I would have to stay behind, I would then let them go by themselves. Those would be the only circumstances I would let my kids leave without me.
