Read Pa Chin’s Family and write one or two short paragraphs responding to two questions.
How do you like (or dislike) The Family? What is the main theme of the novel? Why did the author name his book The Family? Does it refer to something bigger than the small world of the Gao’s
What do you learn about Chinese women, marriage, and family structure from the book? What do you see that the changes outside gave influence on women’s life inside the household?
