Splendor in the Grass, Part 3 Discussion
Pre-viewing activity
In Part 2, Bud tells Deany that they should see each other any more, but doesn't explain why.
In small groups, write a letter from Bud to Deany explaining why you (Bud) want to stop seeing her.
Post-viewing discussion
- How do the parents react to how Deany is acting?
- When the mother asks if Deany has been 'spoiled', why do you think Deany gets so upset?
- How do people feel about 'mental trouble'?
- What kind of person is Toots?
- How does Deany act at the dance. How would you describe her state of mind (before she freaks out, of course)?
- What is the hospital like in which Deany is staying? How would you describe it?
- What do you find odd about Bud's conversation with the waitress, Angelina?
- How does Deany feel when talking with her parents at the hospital? What does her mother say that bothers her?
