Tiny Tales: August 2008
By Kristen on Aug 1, 2008 in short story book club
Welcome to our second meeting of Tiny Tales! Here is our story for August: The Ethical Dilemma of a Sandwich Down the Pants by Kelly Shriver.
I found this story at storySouth which recently posted the Top Ten Stories of 2007. I chose this particular story for a few reasons: The Title! The Length! The Possibility of a Great Discussion!
Now, this month we are shaking things up a bit — I have set up a WikiSpace at http://kgalles.wikispaces.com/. So, feel free to head over there and join the discussion… or simply leave a comment below! Either way is fine with me this month. If the WikiSpace works, then next month I’ll move the discussion there permanently.
Any questions? Leave me a comment! Otherwise, enjoy the story and get ready for a great discussion!
Preliminary Discussion Questions:
- Why does the entire line want the Harvard students to eat the sandwich?
- Did you judge their decision?
- What was their “moral duty” to the students? Why?
- Did you enjoy this Tiny Tale?
If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!
Okay, I’m all ready to talk about this great story. Do I need to wait until my request goes through on the wiki? I’m not sure…
Kudos again on trying new stuff out and on choosing thought-provoking content!

O.k. — I think you can use whatever name/password you want and then I will approve it and we can start discussing! I’m sorry that I’ve been out of town (and still am, but found a Starbucks w/ wireless) and therefore pokey… Let’s discuss!!
