Welcome!

   Welcome to the MORE Program's book blog.  This year we will be reading the University's One Campus, One Book selection by Lisa See, titled Shanghai Girls.  As we read the novel, we will encounter various themes and topics which will allow us to reflect upon both the past and our own personal backgrounds.  You will be asked to write about some of these themes discussed within the novel in order to more fully internalize such concepts.  Some of the concepts you will be asked to comment on include, but are not limited to, parent-child relationships, diverse cultural expectations, gender roles, the importance of diversity, the effects of war upon morality, and the issues presented by wealth inequality.
