So Nov. 7th is the date for our meeting for "NAKED"! Since Sedaris' "Naked" deals so much with his childhood we ask that you bring a favorite from your own. So far on the menu will be:
- Pumpkin Pie from Jordan
- Pigs in a blanket from Kyle
- Mac and Cheese from Nicole
So there are a few ideas as to what people have in mind. Hope you are enjoying the book and Happy Reading! We will meet on Sun. Nov. 7th at 6pm
Here are the questions:
How is your relationship with your mother in comparison to the one that Sadaris illustrates?
Did your parents ever get called in to talk to your teacher for some reason? What was it? Did you have any annoying or strange habits when you were a child? How did people react to them? Do you have them anymore?
. Were there things that you always did with your parents when you were growing up? What were they? Did you like them, or not?
What is the worst or strangest job you have ever had? Would it compare with Sadaris' experiences working in a mental hospital?
Do you remember the things you worried about most when you were still in school? Fashion, dating, sports, sexuality?
Sedaris' dad always tells him awful tales to keep him and his siblings from doing things they shouldn't.
What are some things that your parents told you, or that parents in general tell their children so they won't do certain things
Sedaris tells of his early ambitions to become a professional actor.
What did you want to become when you were a child? What was your dream job?
Now that we are almost at the end of the book you have been given a lot of information about Sedaris' parents. What was their relationship like? Was it a good one? A normal one for people who have been married for so long?
Sedaris attends a holiday at a nudist camp.
Would you ever attend a nudist camp? Why do you think people go to nudist camps or beaches? Did reading this make you want to try it, or not?
