Explore the novel’s use of misinformation and biases. Which of the characters spread misinformation? What biases exist in the book, and what creates them? How do misinformation and biases work together to create suspicion?

Teaching Suggestion: Students may find it beneficial to work in small groups to identify the characters and social groups in the novel before creating an individual analysis. It may be helpful for students to create a Venn diagram to analyze biases, misinformation, and how the two overlap before discussing their analysis.
