Guide questions
Hello people, here you have some questions for you to have in mind for the discussion:
Do you agree with Benjy’s mother, when she said that
he ignores his sister?
Why do you think Benjy didn’t remember his sister
name?
What is the meaning of the bird in the story?
Do you think the girl fell through the ice
deliberately or accidentally?
Do you think the visitor was scare or embarrassed
about Steven?
‘Desperate’, would be a good word to describe what the
visitor felt in that house?
Do you think what happened is the girl’s mother and
aunt fault because they try to get rid of her for a while?
If Steven would have been family of the narrator, do
think things would have been different?
What do the boy and the girl telling these stories
reveal about their own character?
Do you think these stories are a reflection on how
society behaves with people like Sheryl and Steven?
Are the
mothers unreasonable on forcing the kids to do what they didn’t want?
Do you think the attitudes of the narrators are a
natural and instinctive human reaction, or are they a result of parental
influence on the child?

A Beautiful Child by Truman Capote
For Tuesday class: here we have some questions that will help us to discuse the text we. Sara and Tatiana, chose "A Beaituful Child" By Truman Capote
- What kind of person do you admire the most: one who has a lot of talent or the one who has not talent, but works a lot to reach the fineness?
- Do you know someone who has to be called “a beautiful child”
- Do you think Marilyn seemed herself as a beautiful child?
- Do you think that Truman Capote was being hypocrite with Marilyn or he was a transparent friend with her?
- Miss Collier said to Truman Capote: “Somehow I don’t think she’ll make old bones. Absurd of me to say, but somehow I feel she’ll go young. I hope, I really pray that she survives long enough to free the strange lovely talent that’ wandering through her like a jailed spirit.” Actually, Marilyn died at the age of 38. What do you reflect of this coincidence?
- Have you thought about this personal and not famous side of Marilyn Monroe?
