Discussion questions:

1. Do you think that (many of) the characters are stereotypes, or do they posses enough characteristics to be "round characters"? Which characters are the most convincing and which the least?

2. The narrative is mainly from Francie. Do you think the story also could have been told from Neely? Why yes or no. What changes would that have brought to the story told?

3. Do you think the title "A tree grows in Brooklyn" is well chosen? Why (not)? If you had to rename the book, what title would you give it?

4. Do you think Francie will keep in contact with her family after she gets her own life?

5. Why do you think dismisses Francie's teacher her essays about her life and likes the ones where no reality is written?

6. We heard Francie pray several times. Do you think families like Francie's need religion to keep going?
