Socratic Seminar Questions
1. What did you think of the book?
2. How did the switching of narrators each chapter help you to better understand the book? Did the alternating ever become irritating? Did you have a preference as to who was narrating? Kyra, Delaney, Candido, or America? And did you feel like you were able to get to know one couple better than the other?
3. After reading "The Tortilla Curtain" do you have a different view on immigration?
4. Does the novel depict the experience of illegal immigrants well? Is it too farfetched?
5. The American Dream is a term with a definition that varies from person to person. What is America and Candido's dream? After the tragic mudslide, do you think that dream is still attainable?
6. How do the powerful usages of nature from the Coyote to the Forest Fire and finally the flood impact the novel?
7. It seems as though Candido and America receive much of the reader's sympathy. Do you sympathize at all with Delaney or Kyra?
8. Should this novel be considered controversial (socially, culturally, politically)? If yes, why?
9. Why does Delaney fall so far from his moderate views? Is he considered more of a radical against illegals or a common stance?
10. Does anything really change from the beginning of the novel to then end? Everyone is in a similar place at the end—what differences are there?
11. How do you feel about the end of the novel? Was it an optimistic ending or tragic?
