The Graveyard Book Post 3 Discussion Questions

These questions cover chapters 5, Interlude and 6 of The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman. Reaction posts will be up tomorrow. Answering the questions isn't mandatory you can just use them as a guide for your post, especially since I've come up with a lot of questions for this section.
1. Would you dance the Macarbre?

2. Why do you think that Silas and the others are so secretive about it?

3. Why do you think the flowers haven't bloomed in decades?

4. Who do you think the men were with the Man Jack?

5. Why do you think he's running out of time?

6. What do you think of Bod's being in school? His classmates? The "arrest"?

7. What are your thoughts on Silas' rescue?

8. Do you think that there is a connection between Silas and the Man Jack?

Can't wait to hear your thoughts on these questions. You all have such great answers. I can't believe next week is the final post. :(
