Charles YuA modern alternative to SparkNotes and CliffsNotes, SuperSummary offers high-quality Study Guides with detailed chapter summaries and analysis of major themes, characters, and more. For select classroom titles, we also provide Teaching Guides with discussion and quiz questions to prompt student engagement.
Use these questions or activities to help gauge students’ familiarity with and spark their interest in the context of the work, giving them an entry point into the text itself.
Short Answer
1. What is the difference between perspective and point of view? Why might an author choose to use a point of view that does not match the narrative’s perspective?
Teaching Suggestion: Interior Chinatown uses the second person point of view, but its perspective is consistently Willis’s. Yu has good reasons for employing this strategy, but it may be quite confusing for students initially. This prompt is intended to ensure that students understand the distinction between point of view and perspective and have done some preliminary thinking about the various ways these two elements can be manipulated to create different effects.
2. What are the conventions of a screenplay? How are screenplays similar to and different from novels?
