[aisle] Monday's Not Coming questions

[Caitlin Greener]

Our student Book Club writes their own discussion questions. Here's what
our students came up with:

Monday’s Not Coming Discussion Questions

Claudia is terrified of people finding out about her learning disability.
Why do you think she would rather hide her disability than get help?

In what ways is Claudia a reliable narrator? In what ways is she unreliable?

What did you think of the timeline and the way the chapters were labeled?
How did this shape the way you interpreted the story?

How does homophobia play a role in Claudia’s relationships with others?

How are Claudia and Monday dependent on one another? Does their close
friendship have positive or negative effects on them?

The author was inspired by the many black girls that go missing each year
and are never found. What institutions and systems portrayed in the book
fail Monday when given a chance to help? How might these systems be fixed?

April is often slut shamed by other characters in the book. What do you
think of April’s choice to have sex for money?
