SWE ended September with a classic club event, book club. Little Fires Everywhere by Celeste Ng was chosen for these lovely, little sessions. It started off by catching up with the members and soon decided to talk about the differences in the show based off the book vs. the book. A consensus was reached that Reese Witherspoon, Kerry Washington and Drew Barrymore are amazing women. Alyssa Caples, created an anticipation guide for the discussion. Everyone voted in a poll and afterwards they would relate them to main themes or events in the reading. Here's an example of some questions below:
As you can see, the book has heavy topics that should be discussed. Since there was only 7 people, the environment was comfortable and judgement-free. Everyone was able to share their ideas about differing topics like: Realizing how social-economic status can change how parenting functions, race and politics in different times even as recent as the 90s and the role of mothers in society.
In the end, if you are looking for some thoughtful discussion and new perspectives about issues that matter in today's world, join SWE book club! and Let me leave you with a question to think about… agree or disagree: Rules are meant to be broken.
