Thanhha LaiA modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more. For select classroom titles, we also provide Teaching Guides with discussion and quiz questions to prompt student engagement.
Throughout much of the novel, Hà tries to adapt to her new life in Alabama. How does that experience shape her over the course of the year? Use these questions to help you in formulating a response.
Teaching Suggestion: Many of the struggles that Hà faces are clear, but there are also several that are more subtle or subversive. Consider breaking the novel down by part so that groups of students are encouraged to consider all of the experiences Hà has instead of focusing on just the obvious ones.
