1. What is ironic
about the way the author and the father become close? What has to happen to the
father? They become close when he is sick in hospital this is ironic as
when the father is sick and close to death is when the author started to connect
with them.
2. How would you
characterise the conversation that the author has with her parents? It was a pathetic example of a conversation as
nobody would work out much or connect with each other but if it was longer
there would be a better chance of everyone learning.
3. What is it that
worries the author most about these conversations? She has never told her
parents that she loved them.
4. There is a gap
between the author’s need to express feelings common in western countries and
her family’s lack of desire to express their feelings verbally. How does the
family still express their feelings for their child, just not verbally? They don’t really express their concern
for her as they are really calling her child when this is not her name and it
could be interpititted and simplifying her as with making her less important.
