Short Answer

What is it like to live in Siberia? How would you need to adapt if you had to move there?

Teaching Suggestion: One of the novel's settings is Rubtsovsk, in Siberia—an area that accounts for 10% of the world's land surface yet only 0.5% of the world's population. Consider building student interest in this setting by having them share what they already know about Siberia and then research what life is like in Siberia. Students may benefit from reflecting on and discussing their own adaptability, engaging with the novel's theme of Adaptability and Resistance to Change.
