Assignment:

• How do inanimate objects symbolize the power dynamics in the families? Discuss either clothing or food.

• How do intersectional factors affect the power dynamics in the families? Discuss either race or socioeconomic status. (Do NOT discuss sex/gender/sexuality as the intersectional factor.)

Some questions to consider:

What code of conduct rules the fictional world & family?
How do power and agency link to family roles?
Who is the 'Other'? Why?
What are the assumptions made by characters in the text?

Please note:

These are broad topics, and these questions are to give you some places to start, not a list to be answered. You must narrow your focus and develop an argumentative thesis.
