confessions group meeting

Last night, my group met to discuss "Confessions of a Closet Classic". I really enjoyed meeting outside of class because i felt like our discussion wasn't quite as forced. we were able to discuss more of what we got out of the book without specific guiding questions which we felt we had to answer.
I really liked being able to discuss to stereotypes in the book, both of Jewish people and of Catholics. Like another group, we talked more about the Catholic stereotypes and how it made us react. I know I was quite surprised at the stereotypes in this book, and i think i picked up on them because I am Catholic. In this book, the Catholic family went to a very old-school style church, they were a big family, etc etc.
I was glad we were able to talk about this because it is something i noticed especially at the beginning of hte book. Throughout hte book, it got better, but still, i am glad that i got to talk about this from my group.
