In preparing for the study of The Good Earth by Pearl S. Buck in 2006, it is essential that you know your text well.
Here’s what you have to do:
1. Read the novel The Good Earth by Pearl S Buck.
2. Below is a list of questions about your book. Answer them with thought and careful reflection.
a. Identify at least 2 issues or themes the book deals with. In a short paragraph, show how each theme is evident in the novel.
b. Did you enjoy the novel? Why or why not? Explain your reasons.
c. Were there any parts of the novel that disturbed you or made you feel uncomfortable? Why did you feel this way? Can I say that No, I was not disturbed by any parts of the novel?
d. Could you identify with any of the characters and the situations in which they found themselves? Elaborate. Why don't I just answer No?
e. Have you learned anything from the book? (Eg. about yourself, other people or life in general?) Say no! No!
