Week #8: El Saadawi, Al-Shaykh, Yan, and Thiep
Question Description
Week #8: Each of the stories this week involves children, whether they are younger, like in Al-Shaykh’s “The Woman’s Swimming Pool,” or in the other stories where we read about adult children. Using at least three specific examples from three of the four stories on the schedule for this week, what do these stories tell us about what we learn or absorb as children or what a parent/child relationship can be like?
