Cycle 19: White Tigers: Moderator

Here are some questions I had after reading White Tigers from The Woman Warrior:
  • Why did Maxine choose the story of Fa Mulan to imagine herself in?
  • Why did Maxine's parents not tell her that she was chosen to be a warrior ever since her birth?
  • What is the symbolism of the rabbit in this section?
  • What are differences that the white tigers and the dragons symbolize?
  • Maxine's mentors told Maxine not to being pregnant anytime soon. The fact that she got pregnant shows she did not obey her mentors' wishes. What does this symbolize?
  • After hearing Maxine imagine herself as Mulan what do you learn about Maxine?
