To everyone who went so far: We are done!
1. How do you think the experiences of the Moon Lady Festival affect her somber outlook on life? Do you think that the revelation that the Moon Lady was really a man had any affect on her?
The main thing that most of us could agree on was that it showed the audience how young and unknowing Ying-Ying really was. It showed her as a simple girl who was just realizing for the first time the complexity of the world. She is similar to Pip in that manner. Pip realized early on in his life that he was a simple boy, relatively new to the world and hardly knowing anything beyond what directly pertains to everyday life. We compared him to St. Clair and found that they are very similar.
2. Do you think that her outlook on life will change, or do you believe she will remain with a disheartened attitude for the rest of her role in the story? Why?
By the time we got to this question the period was almost over. However we did get to discuss this question a little. One of the things that was said was that she will act a little less trusting and be more suspicious of things, unsure if they truly are what they appear to be. Another thing that was discussed was that she will remained disheartened, a little saddened.
Good luck everyone else, writing this was loads of fun.

At this point in the novel, I have a feeling Ying-Ying will hold onto her attitude, especially since she has since moved to America. If one cannot fully trust her understanding of her own culture, how can she trust her understanding of another culture?
