I am supposed to create a study guide for the book Black Like Me. Anyway, I need some questions to test the other people in my group, but I am suffering from a massive gas attack of the brain, so if you could provide some it would be oh so nice [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Explain my the author chose to write this book.

Does the author's race have any impact on the story?

Identitfy the literary features and disuss their role in the story.

If you're talking about what I think you are...you could ask:

How did the author change his appearance?

How did people's reactions vary, and why?

How is a 'study' such as this limited? Is there a difference between 'wearing black' and 'being black'?

Explore the implications of the following, evidenced by the work: race is a social construct.

Link to other works where characters/non-fiction people have 'passed' (not sure if this is a literature class or a social science).

How does the ability to pass change the author's attitudes and behaviors?

and...I'm spent.

Good luck.

I've never read the book, so I just pulled the questions out of my derier, I would go with Lucern's questions instead of mine.

Haven't read it either lol...using questions I would ask with a social science text about race.

I've heard what it's about though, as it seems you have.
