Question 1: Hong devotes an entire chapter to Richard Pryor. Why is his comedy significant to her? Use a second statement the author makes (or more) when defending your answer When responding, you might consider: What comparisons does she make to her own writing? What does she learn from Pryor or value about his performances? Question 3: Hong states, Innocence is both privilege and a cognitive handicap, a sheltered unknowingness that, once protracted into adulthood, hardens into entitlement. How does race factor into her argument? Defend your position by using at least one quote from the chapter and any important examples.
