Meeting 1- 11 22 63 Meeting 2- 11 22 63 Meeting 3 11 22 63 We as a group believe that we should be able to read this novel, not only because of its great idea but also because of its tie to actual history. The tragedy of JFK was so devestating that even to this day people are constantly reminded of the assassination. Now to take this story and give a twist to it is a fantastic idea that is worthy of being read. Its not only a very suitable topic for our age group but it will help us understand how tragedies such as this may occur.
