Joan wanted to discuss point of view in a collaborative discussion about the story “All Good Things Are Surprises.” Which of the
following might be a good way to start that conversation? “Did you notice how the narrator misunderstood certain words? I thought those parts were really funny.”
“Was the narrator’s grandmother someone you’d like to know? Is she like your own grandmother?”
“How did the family change in the Midwest? What do you think the author wanted to say about that part of the country?”
“Do you think the narrator’s perspective as a child affects the way the plot develops?”
