Fiction: You are sitting in the food court at the mall.  You notice the protagonist (the main character) from your story eating dinner.  He/She looks like they are waiting for someone to arrive.  You walk up to them and say....? What questions would you ask him or her about what has happened to them in your book so far?  How would you challenge them about decisions or choices they have made?  What might you tell him or her?

Non-Fiction:  Does the author present information in a way that is interesting and insightful?  If so, how does he or she achieve this?  If not, what could the author have done to make the information more intriguing?
