I could help you best by seeing what you come up with first. These are pretty straight forward questions, and the answers are there in the text if you read it closely. These questions seem designed primarily to make sure you are doing the reading. They don't really ask you to analyze the deeper literary meaning, yet. My advice here is to write each question down on a separate notecard, and have them out as you read those three chapters. You could also come up with a code for margin notes, say "WP" anytime a character mentions white people, R for any discussions about race (take special note of passages inside quotation marks, indicating that it's dialogue), maybe BC for any time a character seems to be expressing something they believe or care about. Pick two characters you like, and then pay close attention any time you're given details about them. Answering these questions well is all about reading well--not skimming. These questions also give you some specific things to be on the lookout for as you read. Think of it as a kind of treasure hunt. Good luck.
