December 3rd!


Monday, December 3rd free write questions


Why does Tan title the first section “Feathers from a Thousand Li Away?” Look at the first paragraph from each of the first four stories. How do these introductions depict the point-of-view of the narrator?


Why do you think June receives the large sum of money she does from the joy luck club at the end of Feathers? What is it they wish for her to do?


According to the article over the weekend, Tan has an extensive theme showcased throughout her book. What is it about miscommunication that makes problems even worse? Think of a particular instance of miscommunication in your life and detail what happened. 

Read "Scar" for homework!
