Can empathy change your life?Welcome to the second book study in our Great Stories Book Club series! This series has been made possible by a grant from the American Library Association and is being taught in partnership with the Buena Vista Public Library. The theme of this book club series is empathy: what is it, and why is it important?
The second book in the series is Sherman Alexie's novel Flight, about a Native American boy who is disenchanted with society and decides to go on a shooting rampage - and at that moment, is transported back through time to a variety of moments of interracial violence in our country's history. Because this is a fast read, we're going to complete it in one week! Our days will be spent in discussion and READING. You'll earn bonus points for this module: on top of the regular points you can earn for the module, you will earn reading points according to our Reading and Writing guidelines. |
