This is the final discussion thread on A Box of Matches. Identify 2 moral or philosophical precepts or tenets you think the novel espouses. Avoid repeating what others have already said. There’s plenty to say. (You can refer to Study Questions 13 and 15 for suggestions.) This should force you to link the literal, surface level of the text with its underlying, implicit subject matter. It helps to zoom out of the text and contemplate it as a whole first, to get a handle on what its overarching concerns are, then zoom back in for the specific passages, metaphors, and fixations that express those concerns. This dual perspective is essential to deep reading.
The key here is to demonstrate that you understand that this “book of days” is a philosophical text interested in the big questions of human experience, even though they are discussed in small, concrete, mundane, simple, homely ways. These big questions tend to be about moral issues (What is the good life? What is my responsibility to others?), the meaning of life (What gives life meaning, if it is so fleeting? Why are we here?), problems of perception, the nature of beauty, the limits of knowledge, and other issues that have traditionally been dealt with by philosophers, theologians, and poets. Each of your 2 precepts, or “rules to live by,” should be supported by textual evidence from at least two passages.
For your second post, respond substantively to someone else’s post with additional textual evidence, a counterargument, outside research, or further implications.
