EXTRA CREDIT POSSIBILITY: 7-9 MIN MOVIE
I hope you're enjoying reading The Bean Trees. It's supposed to be a fun read. Even though the novel might not go down in history as a pivotal work, the themes it deals with give us opportunities for some great discussions. As you read, look for the following motifs and themes:
- Immigration
- Racism
- Ethics--our responsibility to help others
Read to the end of chapter 6.
I would like to finish the novel by Monday, June 3. More or less, this means that you'll need to read one chapter per day (three this weekend, two next weekend).
Hustle! It's a fun and easy read. If anyone is having a tough time getting into the book, mention it to your mom and I'll be she will say she's read it or has always been interested in reading it. It's a fun one to discuss at home.
