      UNDERSTANDING THE WRITER'S TECHNIQUES

      1.  What do you think is Wong's purpose in writing this essay?

      2. Wong does not state a thesis directly in a thesis statement. How does her title suggest her thesis?

      3. The essay contains several paragraphs with stories (narratives) from Wong's life. Summarize two (2) of her narratives in one or two brief sentences.

      4. Wong uses sensory imagery to make her narratives come alive. Briefly describe one use of imagery that is not visual imagery.

      5. How would you describe Wong's attitude and tone in this essay?

      EXPLORING THE WRITER'S IDEAS

      Wong and her brother deeply resented being forced to attend Chinese school. When children very clearly express their displeasure or their unhappiness, should parents force them to do things anyway? Why or why not? (50 word minimum)
