Homework:
Read the rest of "White Tigers". As you read consider the following questions (which are really different ways of asking the same thing).
Why does the narrator use the subjunctive (to transition the frame on page 20)? Why does the narrator hide (or make less obvious) the change in frame that occurs on page 20?

In class today we wrote in response to the question: What is magic? (What is magic in general terms, and in terms of White Tigers.)

We considered what the "rules" for the world of "White Tigers" are. 

We examined the sentence " I would have to grow up a warrior woman." Who's sentiment is being expressed?

We examined the sentence, "The call would come from a bird that flew over our roof." We learned a bit about the subjunctive mood (e.g. "would come") which is typically used to express a wish, emotion possibility, judgment, opinion, necessity or action that has not yet occurred.
