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?
Welcome back!
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!!
