Reading Group Discussion Questions


• Who do you think is happier  – people who have arranged marriages or people who choose for themselves?

• If you had an arranged marriage, what would you expect of your partner? Would your expectations be different than if you married for love?

• How would your life be different if your parents had chosen your marriage partner for you when you were in your mid-twenties? Who would you be married to now?

• Why do you think women dress like Lolitas? Do you think those needs are universal, or just in Japan? What kinds of “masks” do people in your own culture wear?
​
• If your child was being bullied in school and the school/authorities couldn’t do anything about it, what would you do?
