ANT206H5 Chapter Notes - Chapter 3: Shopping Bag, Chitterlings
Document Summary
When the child took the cabbage and chitterlings to school, other children would tease her about the smell. The child kept getting sent home with notes pinned to her. Her father told her not to speak lao and to not tell anyone she was lao. One day she came to class and noticed that all the girls were wearing pink and the boys dark suits while she was wearing a dark green jogging suit. She was placed off to the side and the grade and year sign was placed in front of her. She was the only one in her home who knew how to read. "this girl"s mother was always seen after school honking in the parking lot in a big shiny black car with a "v" and "w" holding each other inside a circle" (second last paragraph, page 4) Fit all of her things in a white grocery bag.
