Bring on the tough stuff - there’s not just one right answer.
- What could the white family have done differently to help Nancy?
- What would the story be like if the role of Nancy had been filled by someone of a different minority group? Pick a minority group and answer.
- Why does the twenty-four-year-old Quentin, narrating the story, go off on the digression about Mr. Lovelady?
- Is Nancy's behavior rational or irrational? Do her actions make sense? Why? Should she have chosen differently? Could she have?
- Okay, maybe you expected this question: what happens to Nancy after the white family abandons her? Do you think Jesus comes to kill her or not?
