I would ask:
Is a world that would allow this to happen to you flawed beyond redemption?
What would you ask Eli?
Re: What would you ask Eli?
...the story derives a lot of its appeal from its sense of despair and a darkness in which the love of Eli and Oskar seems to shine with a strange and disturbing light.

Re: What would you ask Eli?
Is there a god?
Why that question you may ask? There is a paraphrase in the book that has always really interested me. When (s)he is running back to safety after the Zom-kan incident (I think its after the Zom-kan incident from memory) where (s)he has this little inner monolouge where (s)he is questioning something along the lines of "Why can't I have what I want" and then there is this strange answer of something along the lines of "Because you are not meant to be here"
I can't quote it word for word but I know people here know what I'm talking about...there is something omnious about that. Sure it could be Eli's sub concious but there is just something so omnious about it, like maybe it is or maybe it isn't.
So yes my question for Eli (in a nutshell) would be: "Is there really a god?"
