Last week, you read two essays: “Mother Tongue” by Amy Tan and “Surrendering” by Ocean Vuong. You were asked to write two letters, one from Vuong to Tan and her response. This assignment is really about close reading, because in order for you to write “as if” you are these writers, you need to be able to have read and fully understood what each was saying in their respective essays.
In this discussion, I would like you to discuss these essays and your understanding of them with each other. Please respond to the following, and then follow up with comments or questions to your classmates as usual.
what is the main idea in each essay? I am not asking you to summarize the essays, but tell us what you think each writer is trying to convey through the telling of their stories.
What are some ideas or experiences that each writer has in common, and what ways do they differ?
What did you learn from each essay that is important to you? Why is it important?
