Small Group Discussion

    1. How do characters’ perspectives on the legacy of slavery and current race relations between whites and blacks differ? Find two quotes by different characters that answer this question and compare the two perspective.  How are they similar/different? What would Wise and/or Steele say in response to these characters? Does it matter that this novel takes place in 1937 as opposed to the 21st century when Steele and Wise are writing?

    1. Pages 16-20: Break into partners and read the scene out loud – taking turns.  Summarize this scene in your own words and choose one quote from this monologue that  best captures Nanny’s past experiences and why she is so protective of Janie?  Defend your choice.
