In Fifty Miles from Tomorrow there are a lot more characters than in Man's Search for Meaning. Are any of them like people you know? Do you think you could be friends with any of them if you knew them? Think about this when you are reading. This will help you remember what you are reading better. It is another way for you to relate what you are reading to your own personal experiences.
Hensley has organized his book very differently than how Frankl organized Man's Search for Meaning. Why do you think he did this? Is it done to catch the readers' interest? Do you think he has a purpose for doing this? Also, the reason Hensley wrote this book is different than why Frankl and Blum wrote theirs. What do you think the different reasons are?

This is not a summary, but it should show what you think is good and what is bad about this reading. Is this reading valuable? Why or why not? Is it important? Why or why not?
