The Jungle Discussion Questions

1.) The character in this book that I would like to discuss is the main character, Cadence Sinclair. In my opinion, she was the most interesting and complex character.

However, I did like how the author made it seem like in the beginning that Cadence’s life was perfect because she gets anything she wants, but when you read more into the book you realize her life is anything but perfect. I liked this aspect of the book because it made it more interesting to read about Cadence’s story.

I learned that from this book because Cadence and her family have everything they want, a private island, huge houses, and tons of money, but what they don’t have is happiness and there family is always arguing and they never seem
