Lit Circles is probably one of the hardest things you'll do in GOAL. By hardest I mean you will have to really go to a deeper level of thinking and comprehension. For me I always wrote around 15 Question 15 Comments and 5 or so Quotes but they were not quality! I've looked back at my sheets and many of them say QUALITY not quanity-Go for a Deeper Level of Thinking. The Questions and Comments that you have should be making connections or revelations. No I like this or that was sad. A good comment should include a because and a good question should not have a yes no or any other one word answer. Think about it and you can get tens on your papers (If that's the highest score still) the point is don't take the easy road really bring something to DISCUSS! Happy Reading... ;)

Ex: How did Voldemort decide that the best way to take over was to kill and control? Why did he want to be on top and overthrow and control everything? What made him want to have followers and not work alone?
I think that Harry not only got rid of the horicrux but also lost his childhood innocence. In his scarifice he matured years beyond what many people ever reach and I that JK Rowling shows that in the change of the use of Voldemorts name to calling him Riddle. ----Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Once you reach that level of thinking it's hard to stop.
