Asking Questions

While reading Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress, I want you to write at least three questions per chapter. Questions can range from a variety of topics. Here are a few things you might want to ask questions about:

  • Plot
  • Characters--major characters, minor characters
  • Conflicts--physical, emotional, intellectual, moral
  • Structure of novel
  • Narration
  • Imagery
  • Point of view
  • Setting
  • Certain passages that catch your attention
  • Symbolism
  • Style of writing
  • Theme
