- Did Mia and Elena change as mothers by the end of Little Fires Everywhere?
- The two mothers at the heart of the story, Elena, and Mia, take on motherhood in very different ways, from the ways they plan for it to the choices they make as working mothers. How do you think this contributes to their feelings about the adoption controversy?
- During Brown v. Board of Education and the Little Rock Nine, Shaker Heights residents believed that they were "smarter, wider, more thoughtful and forethoughtful" than the "storm of slurs and spit" they saw on TV. Residents came together to firmly encourage integration to create a world as close to perfection as possible. In contrast, the custody case tore the town apart. Why do you think this is?
- Once the custody battle begins, if you consider racial and socio-economic factors, it is easy to understand why some of the characters choose to support the McCulloughs and why others support Bebe Chow. There are, however, exceptions, including Izzy and the differing perspectives of John and Deborah, the parents of Lexie's boyfriend. What other factors do you think influence the characters' positions on the controversy?
