Haroun Chapter 10

Other than poisoning stories, what else is Khattam-Shud doing to stop stories for good?

• He is holding Princess Batcheat hostage until Guppees stop encouraging stories

• He is creating a drying machine to dry the Ocean into a desert

• He is creating a plug to block the Wellspring

• He is going to war with the Guppees until they cease to exist

What do the divers working on stopping the stories wear?

• Gucci sunglasses because they hate light

• Catholic school uniforms because Khattam-Shud has a need to control everything

• Pajamas because it is always night in Chup

• Protective suits because the poison in the water is harmful even to the Chupwalas

How many tries does it take for Haroun to reinstall Butt’s brain? (allusion)

• 1001 (1001 Nights)

• 3 (3 wishes, 3 Little Pigs, Goldilocks and the 3 Bears, 3rd time’s a charm)

• 11 (Haroun can’t focus for more than 11 minutes)

• 6 (6th grade)

What effect does the sunlight have on the Chupwalas and everything else on the ship?

• The sunlight makes them hiss and screech like vampires in the light

• The sunlight makes everything melt because they were shadows to begin with

• The sunlight makes the Chupwalas sing with joy and their ship turn colorful

• It’s too bright and the class can’t see the projection on the board to watch Percy Jackson

What is Haroun's wish?

• For him to go back to his world and everything to be okay

• To have his mom back. All he wants is his mom back

• That he can go back in time and not have his dad cancel his story subscription

• For Kahani to turn, so the sun will shine on Chup territory
