Summary of Rex
- Discussion question 2: Give opinions on how you think Rex's childhood was.Do you think that Rex and his brother Stanley were ever sexually abused by Erma or do you think it was genuinely a misinterpretation from the children?
Pretend that you are Brian. After the incident that occurred with Erma, and the way that Rex reacted, would you lose respect for your father, or would you feel more sypathetic toward him, due to your lack of knowledge about Rex's childhood?
As said in this video clip, Jeanette's favorite childhood memory was when Rex gave her Venus. Do you think it was a drunken promise or genuine?
The End
In your own opinion summarize up Rex's personality with two adjectives. Give the reasons why you chose those two adjectives with support from the book, and predictions you can make about his past.

Discussion Question #1
Statistics prove that alcoholism is a shared trait, passed down from generation to generation within a family. Judging from the last discussion question, do you feel as though Rex and Stanley are prime examples of this? Do you feel that some of Rex and Rosemary's children will end up the same, or break the cycle?
What traits do you find similar between Stanley, Erma, Rex?
