DISCUSSION QUESTIONS The Whistler |
1. Talk about Lacy
Stoltz. Grisham has been accused of ignoring strong females for his lead
characters. Does Stoltz satisfy that lack? What do you think of her? The truth was that, at the age of 36, Lacy was content to live alone, to sleep in the center of the bed, to clean up only after herself, to make and spend her own money, to come and go as she pleased, to pursue her career without worrying about his, to plan her evenings with input from no one else, to cook or not to cook, and to have sole possession of the remote control.m. Describe Judge Claudia McDover .3. Grisham's writing contains some sharp
observations about lawyers. Pick out a few passages, like the lawyer he
describes here as a "ham-and-egg street hustler." Are Grisham's
observations about the legal profession in general fair? What things
does he reveal about the law that perhaps we'd rather not know? * Some questions from LitLovers. |
