Tuesday, 3 May

In class we considered the following issues, ideas, and questions in relation to "Shaman."



1)    In this section how does the narrator present her mother?  What is her tone?  Find and use quotes from the section to illustrate your point.  Describe what you take from the quotes and why.

2)    In what ways are the narrator’s mother’s experiences in China surprising considering her life in America.  Use quotes to illustrate your thinking.

3)    Describe the ghosts and spirits presented in this section.  How are they similar to and different from ghosts and spirits in previous chapters.  Be sure to use, and annotate quotes from each chapter.

4)    How can the To Keung School of Midewifery be seen as an example for the American born narrator?
