In the story, Guili interacts with people in a number of different social environments. In each instance, language becomes an issue. Take a moment to consider how her reliance on phrases from a phrase book affects her ability to engage with the clerk. What are the consequences to her as an individual that she is relying on those phrases to express herself? In what ways do those phrases create her identity? Then compare that to her attempt to pronounce her son’s preferred name, Ted. She is unable to pronounce the name, despite her earnest attempt to do so. What does this mean about her ability to interact with her son? What are the consequences for her inability to represent him as he chooses to be represented, despite wanting to? And in a broader sense, how is language tied to power in this story?]
