The God of Small Things - Day 8

Today you'll share the drawings you created with your group. We'll first look at the ones from chapter 6, and then the ones from chapter 8. You'll use this sheet (or your notebook) to keep track of details from other groups.

• Chart for chapters 6 & 8 illustrations

Then we will turn our attention to this list of themes. With your group you will explore the ways in which two different characters potentially connect with them.

• The grotesque (fantastically ugly or absurd; unnatural; bizarre)
• Loss of innocence
• Silence / making noise
• Big issues lurking below the surface
• Subconscious connections between characters
• The Love Laws
• Big Things and Small Things
• How information we’ve learned previously about a character reappears and helps shape our understanding of that character
