Name:______________________

“Daughter of the Yellow River”

Answer 3 of the 4 questions below for next class. Make sure to prove that you have read by responding to the questions with evidence from the text. Each answer should be a least 1/2 page typed.

1. How does Granny Duo stand out as an individual in her society? What kinds of values does she seem to possess or represent that make other people feel threatened by her? Do you think those same values still threaten people in American society today?

2. Do you think love is the most important value in a long-term relationship? If so, does that make it acceptable for Granny Duo to leave her husband for Ergeze? Why or why not?


3. Is marriage an important social institution? Why or why not? Should Granny Duo have stayed with her husband in the end?


4. How did you react to Grandpa Duo’s forgiveness of Granny and Ergeze’s actions at the end? Why do you think he was able to forgive them? Do you think that kind of forgiveness could happen in our society today?
