Questions/Considerations my teacher added to help get topics going:
Both of the following essays reference the COVID pandemic. What is the date that they are written? What was happening in the world at that time? Where does the author speak from? What is the meaning of her flashbacks?
What do the essays say about the effects of a plague on cultural conflict, such as class?
In “A Lifetime of Reading” how does the author spend her time during the pandemic? Why does her mind turn to Uncle John? How did her uncles help her family?
What does the essay show about how the meaning of “home” and feelings of being at home change during cultural conflict or a pandemic?
How does “A Lifetime of Reading” explore how feelings of “home” are conflicted after being an immigrant or experiencing a pandemic?
