Document Summary
Naima"s movement into the market place and the idea of endangerment. Naima is characterized as a worker from the start (from domesic work to outside work) Deiniion of childhood emerges in the contrast between posiion of naima and rashida: naima s posiion with childhood is tenuous, she longs for the ability to work, atached to domesic space, sari restricts her movement. Idea that childhood is deined by play/ free play (something that enables her interacion with a boy/ saleem) Women can help women: female collecive/ female collaboraive. Narraive structure: invited into inimacy of family world, directly get the thoughts of the narrator instead of third person perspecive, privy to self discovery. Exaggeraion a zillion degrees below zero like it had a million leters in it . The weird watsons: page 11, mouth stuck to car, familial unity, cohesiveness. Family starts out huddled on the couch because they were cold. Bullying, larry dunn: echoed in racial violence.
