The date for the next one is 4th August.
Here's some questions on "The Slap" to get the old brain boxes working
Did the book make you question your immediate response of Harry slapping Hugo?
How does Rosie breastfeeding affect your opinion of her?
Do you think the author deliberately chose to have multiple nationalities represented at the BBQ (Vietnamese, Aboriginal, Greek, Indian)?
How does the groups reaction to 'The Slap' represent political correctness in today's society?
Is the promiscuity and drug-taking Representative of middle class Australia?
Feel free to add other questions to get us thinking.
Did anyone think the language seemed to take prominence in almost every dialogue and override the issues? Everyone was swearing their head off right down to Hugo.
ReplyDeleteI was struck by how much anger all the characters arre feeling - repressed and otherwise. Does this reflect your experience of 'middle class' australia?
