Week 3- Discussion Question 1- Communication

The topic of communication is of great importance in this story, particularly when we really start to compare the young Henry Lee with the adult Henry Lee.
Talking openly with ones parents is often difficult for most teens, even under the best of circumstances, and the young Henry is no different.

Write about what you've come to understand about Henry's challenges in communicating with his parents. Yes, there is definitely a language barrier, but it goes deeper than that. Write about what you know to be true for Henry. What are your thoughts? What are your questions?

And what about Keiko? Her relationship with her parents is different than Henry's relationship with is parents, but Keiko has her own public struggles with communication. What do you understand to be true about her challenges with communication?
