What are two elaborate and could be well-discussed discussion question from this story?thanks :)

The following two questions, based on the story, are good
discussion questions. Each requires students to consider character behavior and the
motivations for the behaviors.

1. “Why
   do you think there was an ‘air of mystery among the blacks’ and frequent visitors to
   L'Abri about 3 months after Desiree's baby was
   born?”

1. “Why was it
   assumed that Desiree was the reason her child was not
   white?”

Question #1 might prove
interesting because it concerns the reactions of others (black and white) when they
begin to notice the “coloring” of Desiree’s baby. Of course, “the blacks” are concerned
about the consequences since they realize that a bi-racial baby will bring violent and
brutal repercussions to anyone who might be accused of fathering Desiree’s child. The
“frequent visitors” are local whites who have likely heard the rumors regarding the baby
and have come to gain a first-hand view of the
child.

 Question #2 is an excellent discussion question.
Tangential discussion issues include adoption, child abandonment, race relations, and
social and economic class systems. Although Desiree’s parents loved her dearly, her
unknown ancestry leaves her heritage open to speculation. Unlike Armand, her parentage
was entirely unknown. Naturally, then, when the baby appears to be bi-racial, everyone
assumes that Desiree must have had black relations.
