Sure, here are some more complex comprehension questions for chapter 1 of the book Across the Universe:

  1. How does the author use sensory details to convey the main character’s experience of being awakened from cryogenic sleep? What emotions does the main character feel, and how does the author convey these emotions through language and imagery?

  2. What is the significance of the spaceship’s mission, both in terms of the larger context of the story and in terms of the themes that the author is exploring? How does the mission reflect the values and priorities of the society that the main character comes from?

  3. How does the author use dialogue and characterization to establish the main character’s relationship with her parents? What do we learn about the main character’s personality and values from her interactions with her parents?

  4. What is the role of technology in the story, and how does the author use it to create tension and conflict? How does the main character’s relationship with technology change over the course of the chapter?

  5. How does the author use setting and description to create a sense of atmosphere and mood in the chapter? What do we learn about the spaceship and its inhabitants from the details that the author includes?
