NOTE: Be sure to see the Paper #2 assignment below if you missed class on Friday
The “China” group should answer two of the following:
Q1: Why does Rohin tell Miranda
that the word sexy means “loving someone you don’t know” (107)? Why would a
child misunderstand this definition, but why is it—at least for Miranda—somewhat
close to the mark?
Q2: How do modern
conveniences change the residents and break up the community? Why does Boori Ma
no longer fit into this world?
Q3: Why is Boori Ma
accepted as a “durwan” even though “under normal circumstances this was no job
for a woman” (73)? What makes her able to break the social norms?
Q4: How does Miranda try
to translate herself into an Indian and a mistress? Do these things seem to
make a difference to Dev? Does she understand his attraction and interest in
her?
