Get this book called Celeste Ng. Everything I Never Told You. Penguin edition and answer this question below:
The narrative of Everything I Never Told You relates the past and present of the Lee’s family life together and the characters of each family member. The narrative threads expose both the silences among these characters — who don’t say what they should say to each other, either husband to wife, or parent to child or vice versa — and the betrayals, either overt, like James’s infidelity with Julia or more insidious and ongoing ones. Discuss these themes of what remains uspoken or what betrayals occur in this troubled family. Again, don’t be global! Take any specific scene or action to discuss. What happens? Why? What is your interpretation and response?
