Think about what insights it offers regarding dominant social practices of illness & dying in our culture and also alternatives to those dominant practices.
Identify the book you're reading with full bibliographic information (author, title, publisher, year published).
Please write a précis, in 1-2 paragraphs, of the whole book. What would the author say if asked in an elevator to sum up his/her book in 1 minute?
Please quote 3-5 particularly insightful, arresting, or thought-provoking passages in the final chunk of the book (provide page numbers). For each quote provide either a paraphrase or response.
Finally please write a paragraph discussing your thoughts and experiences in relation to this book's portrayal (in the last 1/3rd) of how people go about being sick and dying. Aim for bright, insightful, slicing prose.
