Brian,

I am glad you got this loaded up. I think you identify some key points of the story to ask questions about...the problem is how you ask them. See my blog as I just posted something on interpretive questions....the key is to bring in more of the story into it. These, for the most part are too general (e.g. #5). When you identify key passages and events and put them within the questions it helps direct the person responding to the question better. Also, what happened to #10?
