Discussion Questions for Spring 1934

Question Spring 1935
  • Billie Jo compares her ma to a tumbleweed, while
    her father "was more like the sod. / Steady,
    silent, and deep" (p. 202). Is Billie Jo more
    like her mother or her father in this respect?
    What image could Billie Jo be compared to?
  • The quote is from Summer of 1935 but answer
    the question before you get to the summer of
    1935, so your answer about Billie Jo is original.

20
Summer 1935
  • Point of View
  • Write the event of the summer of 1935 through the
    eyes of a supporting character.

21
Question Summer 1935
  • Billie Jo says, ". . . if I had any boy court me
    / it'd be Mad Dog Craddock" (p. 153). How do her
    feelings about him change as the story
    progresses? Is he more than a friend to her? What
    are Mad Dog's feelings? He would be interesting
    to explore in a Point of View response.
  • Students sometimes comment on the babies that
    appear and disappear in the story the Lindbergh
    baby, Franklin, the Dionne babies, the migrant
    baby, and the baby abandoned on the church steps.
    Is there a connection between these babies? Why
    does the author include them in the story? Why
    does Billie Jo want to adopt the abandoned baby?
    Why does her father refuse?
  • Why does the man on the freight train give Billie
    Jo the photograph of his family?
