Parent Guide > The Lady or the Tiger
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 "The Lady or the Tiger" by Frank R. Stockton.
In "The Lady or the Tiger," a king delivers justice through chance, which proves to be a no-win situation for his daughter and her condemned love interest.
As we read, we will be discussing the themes of Fate & Free Will, Justice, Freedom & Equality, and Love as they relate to the text. We are trying to answer these big questions :
"How are we changed by love?", "What is fair?", and "Can we control our fate?"
Ways to support your child:
-
Ask your child about this allegory at home:
- What was "The Lady or the Tiger" about?
- What did you learn about Fate & Free Will?
- What did you learn about Justice, Freedom & Equality?
- What did you learn about Love?
- Watch The Brain in Love at home with your child.
