Frozen in Time
By: Martin Beauchemin
BOOK STUDY JOURNAL - “FROZEN IN TIME”
Before you read questions:
1. What did you know about this book before you read it?
I’ve never even heard of this book before. 2. What do you want to learn?
What the book is about. 3. Why did you choose this book?
Because it had the coolest name and it has an airplane on the cover. And I like airplanes. So it was the logical choice. 4. What did you know about the author before reading the book?
I’ve never heard of him before.
Author biography - Mitchell Zuckoff
Mitchell Zuckoff is the author of six books and also a professor at Boston University where he teaches journalism. Zuckoff spent two decades as a reporter, much of that time with The Boston Globe, where he was an investigative reporter and a national correspondent. His work has also appeared in The New Yorker, Fortune, and other major magazines.
This book is brand spanking new (April 23rd, 2013). The book had nothing to do with outside world influence. It is a non-fiction book about a plane crash and rescue mission disaster. And then later on in the book, it’s a documentary in words about trying to recover the bodies in 2012. And Mitchell Zuckoff himself took part in the rescue mission. All of the author’s six books are non-fictional documentaries. Two of his books (including “Frozen in Time”) are about plane crashes and about the rescue missions to save those who had survived. So this book definitely isn’t a new concept to Mitchell.
Questions and Ideas
1. Did everybody survive? 2. Does this story have a happy ending? 3. Did the author’s team find the missing plane? 4. This is a weird question but, are there any Canadians in this book? 5. Will this book be interesting?
Vocabulary
