Im excited for the book club discussion later this afternoon with - TopicsExpress

Im excited for the book club discussion later this afternoon with some members of the Easter Seals MA Thrive mentoring program. Some of us have been reading Susan Nussbaums Good Kings Bad Kings which I really enjoyed! Below are the discussion questions well be talking about. If youve read the book please feel free to leave your responses as well. Thanks! - Sandy Questions for discussion (in no particular order!) Which character could you most relate to? As a student/professional/mentee/mentor: how was this novel’s portrayal of a life with disability compare to your own experience? Do you think it is accurate or not, and in what ways? Each chapter is from a different character’s perspective. Was there a character in the book you wish we’d gotten to read a perspective on? Do you think Yessie’s act of protest & rebellion from institutionalized living could be successfully accomplished today with youth who have disabilities? And around what issue do you think youth with disabilities could/should protest against? What did you like or not like about Joanne’s relationship with Ricky? How do you think their relationship helped or harmed their professional role at ILLC? Or their relationship with the youth? How do the characters in Susan Nussbaum’s novel compare to how other people with disabilities are portrayed in other books or movies? How does knowing that this book was written by a woman who acquired a disability impact your opinion of the book? Ask yourself honestly: would you have joined Yessie when she chained herself to the tree as she holds up a sign that read: ‘THIS PLACES ABUSES AND KILLS CHILDREN?’ Or would you have said “I don’t want to get in trouble” and gone back inside ILLC? What factors would you have taken into your decision? If you were to recommend this book to someone in your life who does not have a disability, who would you recommend it to and why? What do you consider to be the core ‘Problem’ in the novel’s plot? Is it ILLC? Is it the way the novel’s fictional community portrays disability? Is it Ms. Phoebe, the director of the institution? In the novel it seems as though there were no consequences towards those responsible for Teddy Dobbs, or Mia Oviedo and yet Joanne gets fired. What does this say about the professional field of disability services?
