Some Questions for You to Think and Write About

Hi Clubbers,

Now that we've gotten back into the book, here are a few questions for you to mull over and write about in your post. Remember, you don't have to write about each question. You can write whatever your thoughts are, as long as they pertain to the book in some way. Have fun and remember to comment on each other's blogs.

1)For the newcomers to our book club, summarize what we have read in the book so far.

2)How do you thinks Ka's feelings for her parents changed after the secret was revealed?

3)Regarding the husband and wife who were separated for seven years, can you relate to the experience of the wife coming to this country for the first time? What was it like for you when you first came to this country?

4)Do you think love can survive a separation of seven years? Why or why not?
Hi Book Club!

Be sure to check out my blogs. Each week I'll have questions about ideas from the book. Feel free to respond to any and all questions. Also, write to each other!

Greetings from Linda

Hi, my name is Linda and I'm a GED teacher. I'm very excited as this is the first blog for me and many of my students. Right now we're reading a book by the Haitian author Edwidge Danticat called The Dew Breaker. We just finished the part where the main character's father revealed a secret to her from his past. That secret changed everything she ever thought about her father. We will continue this week.
