Subject: Re: [ISLMA-Share] Aristotle and Dante Discover the Universe

First off, great choice. We did this as a Book Club selection for grades 10-12 a few years ago. Lots of fodder for serious discussion. ("What does it mean to be a Real Mexican?" "What Are the Secrets of the Universe shared in the book?")

I've read the book twice and it still took me a while to find it. Other parts made a much more lasting impression. (Like the significance of mom and dad going to have a "serious talk" as they served him a beer at their kitchen table.) The marijuana smoking episode occurs on 270-74.

Beer is consumed in the following 204-208,229-232, & 344-46.

Does anyone know on which pages there are descriptions of drug use in Aristotle and Dante Discover the Universe by Benjamin Saenz ?  This book is being considered for our English curriculum, but they need to review the passages on drug usage before adding it to the list of possibilities.  Thanks.
