What is one question you have about this book that you would like to ask the author?
Is this book the kinds of stories we would read if we were in China (or around China) or are they stories you've made just for Americans to get an understanding of Chinese people coming to America?
Why did you pick the stories, and did you really experience everything you wrote about? For instance, walking past the window and seeing people having sex or someone dying.
My question would be; What promited her to write these stories; did a particular event push her to write these stories? Along with; What exactly did she want her readers to take from this reading?
I would ask if some of the things she wrote about in her storied really occured in her life or maybe so individuals around her being that she lived in New York, China & Minnesota , Which most of the stories took place.

Why is it so important for the Chinese culture to Americanize themselves? Why do they want to do this so badly?

Can you relate this book to how you have come to America and the stories you have to tell from personal experiences ? - Asha Sathre
ReplyDeleteI would ask the author why she waited so long to give us Wan Li's name. It was hard to write papers when you didn't know her name.
