Answer two questions on this short story

you can pick whatever Two you want to answer from the list below)

I attached the story.

Read “Seventeen Syllables”, and select two questions for your posts:
Notice how this is a mother-daughter story, not so much in focusing on their relationship, but rather on their parallel growth or quests. Rosie is exploring sexuality without knowing (until the ending that sex got her mother in trouble at a young age). Ume is exploring her literary talent and that, too, gets her in a troubled situation. Comment on the mother’s and the daughter’s parallel explorations OR comment on their relationship, esp. in the concluding scene.
How does the story portray the daily life of the family? Does ethnicity play a significant role in how they live?
How does the story portray dual or split identities?
Does the story make a judgment about class, education, literacy?
Is Rosie’s father’s jealousy understandable? sympathetic? If so, how?
Is this a story about domestic violence? Explain.
