Chapter 1 Kim & Chapter 2 Ana

(replay text/audio on Monday)

Every chapter has its own protagonist or main character.

Your guiding questions for each chapter are:

·        Who is the character?

·        What does he/she do, say, or think?

·        What do their actions, words or thoughts say about the type of person they are?

Feel free to complete task daily in class using MS Word.

Chapter 1
-We meet Kim from Vietnam.
-She never knew her father.  He passed away when she was just born and they never had a proper father-daughter relationship.  He was a farmer and she plants lima beans in the vacant lot to honor him and with the hope that he sees and appreciates her as his daughter from up above.
-From her actions, we learn Kim is a respectful, loving, devoted, thoughtful and caring person that longs to have a paternal influence in her life.

Chapter 2
-We meet Ana from Romania.
-She's always lived in the neighborhood and worked for the police parole department.  She spies and stalks Kim, digging up the lima beans she planted.
-From her actions, we learn Ana is a suspicious person, who thinks the worst of others, is not accepting and trusting of other cultures other than her own.  Her poor behaviour may encourage her to change her attitude towards others.
