DISCUSSION QUESTIONS

- [ ] The transformation narratives + stories as tied to the immigrant narratives / the selling of heritage
- [ ] Generational narratives + the literal breakdown of time barriers & temporal narratives
- [ ] What you owe a family // where you come from [the rootedness of narrative / stakes]
- [ ] Symbols — life and death and trees
- [ ] Cyclical narratives//sharing/similarity of narratives (becoming similar/different from the people you love)
- [ ] Loving someone similar/different from you
- [ ] Myths and technology (magic and science) + the paralleling/merging/inseparability of them
- [ ] The fabulism — significance of the symbols [could go through and parse]
- [ ] Where you come from as tied to the symbols [coming from fish, etc.]
- [ ] Government control as patriarchal // parental control [houses of fathers and mothers] + “playing god”
