DB# 5 Question # 13 & 14"A Chinese Banquet."

13. The metaphors are described, for living an open homosexual relationship without any complications. " Our bedroom ceiling the wide open sky," sends the massage of the need to not hide there love any longer. Because the suppression of discretion in there relationship,there life would be worry free, and they could overcome any challenge together.

14.In the small talk,that continues throughout the poem provides, a definition of simplicity that is missing from her own life. I think the example of a vacation and of eating exotic foods provides an example of a worry free life. The girl within the story lacks simplicity in her relationships, and a worry free lifestyle. In this instance I feel as though she is pointing these examples out, due to envy.

  1. I think the small talk in the story is the only thing this family has to talk about. None of them want to acknowledge the truth about her being gay so they skirt around the subject by talking about anything else they can think of. The family keeps bringing up news about other people but you get the feeling that if she wasn't there, they would all be talking about her instead.
