In class, we are periodically going to assume different roles to aid in discussions regarding The Poisonwood Bible. For the first lit circle, I am the moderator, which means that I have to come up with questions for our discussion.
1) Ruth May seems to be fascinated by Green Mamba snakes. Is their any significance behind that?
2) After becoming flustered by Anatole's argument about the problems with his teachings, Nathan breaks Orleanna's favorite serving plate out of rage. Is Nathan's anger going to play a significant role later on in the story?
3) When Leah is allowed to keep a baby owl, Nathan punishes her for the sin of pride. Why does Nathan punish Leah for the sin of pride when he is the one who has the most pride?
4) Does the owl Leah found have any significance to the relations of villagers and the price family or future events?
5) Nathan demonstrates a complete disregard for his family's safety by refusing to leave Congo even though there will be civil unrest from the changing government. Will Nathan's attitude hurt his family and will he ever change his ways?
6) WIll the change in government affect Nathan's plans?
