DQs: The Reformatory by Tananarive Due (Chapters #1- 10)
Drop a comment in response to the following Discussion Questions, relative to chapters 1-10 of The Reformatory by Tananarive Due!
1.) Though The Reformatory takes place in the Jim Crow–era South, does it address any issues in contemporary society? Can you think of any recent court cases similar in which the punishment doesn’t fit the crime or the judicial system failed to properly assess the defendant’s guilt or innocence?
2.) The Reformatory starts out with Robbie Stephens Jr. as simply a young boy who has just lost his mother and is dealing with the absence of his father, who was forced to flee town for his safety. How does the lack of those parental figures impact him?
