Bring on the tough stuff - there’s not just one right answer.
- The BFG had many theories about humans. Which seem to be the truest (from your human point of view), and why?
- If Sophie had not been taken by the BFG, what might her life have been like?
- Is the Queen a realistic character? Better yet: is she realistic royalty? How might the real British government have reacted to news of child-killing giants?
- Why do you think Roald Dahl decided to make the BFG speak the way he does? What role does language play in the story?
- Why might Roald Dahl have chosen to make Sophie an orphan?
