EoE Halfway Mark Party!

[Jordan Simpson]

Hopefully we're all getting at least close to halfway through East of
Eden. To celebrate and discuss the book so far I'd like to invite you
over next Saturday (June 11) at 7pm. We'll have coffee and snacks
while we talk about how crazy Cathy is. The address is 1220 E 59th St,
KCMO. Let me know if you're able to make it.


Some things to think about from Part II:

- What are the roles of Sam Hamilton and Lee in the story? How are
they members of the Trask family?

- Conforming to assumptions plays a strong role in this section. Lee
fits into the Chinese stereotype and Adam forces Cathy into what he
expects her to be. How does this conformity play out? What is
Steinbeck saying about identity? Is it ever good to conform to
expectations?

Hey all,

Just a note - the address is actually 1200 E 59th St. :) If you haven't been before, it's on the corner of Forest & 59th, and if you can't park on the street, just park in the parking lot of the school across the street.
