Alexa and I began by answering the study guide/ discussion questions for the chapters of the book she has read. We also discussed in detail the setting of the novel. I showed her some pictures of Manderley from the 1940's Hitchcock movie to get a better picture in her mind. We also discussed the role of women in the 1930's and compared them to Jane Austen's women in PRIDE AND PREJUDICE. Alexa will continue reading the novel for homework. She says that she is enjoying the novel.
