Parent Guide > Indefinite Inevitable
Welcome to the parent guide for this text! Read below to find out about what your child is reading in class and how you can support him/her at home.
This week in class, we’re reading "Indefinite Inevitable" by Lauren Groff.
In "Indefinite Inevitable," only baby boys are born, and their parents experience grief when their children disappear.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Comedy & Tragedy, Gender Roles, and War & Peace as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"How do we define the roles of men and women?", "What can we learn from tragedy?", and "How are we changed by war?"
Ways to support your child:
-
Ask your child about this short story at home:

- What did you learn about Comedy & Tragedy?
- What did you learn about Gender Roles?
- What did you learn about War & Peace?
