Young Reader’s Club-May| Yuval Noah Harari’s Unstoppable Us

Reading is delightful when it is self-paced and with time to reflect, don’t you think so? Here is where we are in the cycle of our Book Club this month.

A few questions that may help you think, mull and ponder over the book better.

1. What did you think about the cover of the book?
2. What were you expecting the book to be about?
3. Things in the book that really surprised you!
4. Are you enjoying the tone of the writing?
5. Anything you have read so far that you are excited to share with your friends and family?

We would love to know your thoughts on the above questions. Do share with us as you go along!

Are you the kind of reader who finishes the book in one go or the one who reads a little every day, or something else in between? Whatever kind you are, the ‘reader’ tribe rocks and this is an alert for you to start finishing off the book 

As you read through, here are questions for you to think over in this phase-

1) Now that you know what the book is about, why do you think the author wrote it? And that too for kids?

2) Have you read any other book on a similar theme? If yes, how does it compare?

3) The author, Yuval Noah Harai insists throughout the book that we don’t have answers to some of the biggest questions– how our ancestors lived?  What were their families like? What happened to the Neanderthals| How did you feel when you read these open questions? 

4) Is there any other animal/creature you know who can control fire? Why do you think we as humans can and how has it shaped our journey as homo sapiens?

That is a lot of food for thought! Don’t stay hungry but don’t overeat either. Do share with us as you go along!

1. Is there a sentence or idea or argument that stood out for you? 
2. If you could ask the author and historian Yuval one thing, what would that be?
3. Has this book changed your view or made you look at something in a new light?

See you on Saturday!
