In Madame Butterfly the plot of the opera is that a give birth m new(prenominal) loses her a child an adoptive mother who later on loses the baby. The whole time Suzuki, the servant, witnesses everything, besides elicit do nothing to help. Moore quoted this opera in the epigraph because much in Madame Butterfly where Suzuki is very relied by Madame Butterfly to do basically everything for her.This is sound like how Sarah relies on Tassie to do everything for her, such(prenominal) as raising Emmie. 2. What do the three epigraphs fit unneurotic? Or contrast with each other? The scratch two epigraphs fit together because they some(prenominal) relate to the subject of servants and both are related to Madame Butterfly. The first two contra st to the third because if youre a servant consequently you dont touch the world from the same point of view as someone that youre a servant for. 3. In addition to her mother wit of humor and intelligence, what are Tassies strengths as a narrator? How does Owhat she describes as an unseemly collection of jostling causality elves (p. 3) affect the narrative and Ocontribute to the appeal of her tale? In addition to Tassies sense of humor and intelligence, her other strengths as a narrator are that she describes everything in great detail such as Though the interior of the close in was quilted white, like a beautiful suitcase, what I could see of my chum salmon looked like garbage tossed inside (Moore 298-299). When Tassie describes herself as an unseemly collection of Jostling former selves, it affects the narrative because she was acting a different constituent and had a different somebodyality in Troy and Dellacrosse.When she is in Troy she is playing the role of a servant for the Thornwood-Brink family. While in Dellacrosse shes playing the role of an average college girl, not ready to grow up. Shes basically living a double life. 4. How does the initial meeting between Tassie and Sarah create a real, if hesitant, link Obetween them? What aspects of their personalities come come on in their talk? Tassie and Sarahs first meeting created a hesitant connection between them because they didnt know each other at all and because of this, they did not understand each others sense of humor and couldnt reproof to each other ith aside it organism awkward.Sarah seemed to bring up everything they could ever gurgle close to except for why they were adopting a child and some(prenominal) other aspects of it. Many aspects of their personalities came through in their conversation. One of the aspects was that they were both extremely talkative, but they both werent using they talkativeness in an appropriate manor for the situation. They couldnt stand on topic at all during their conversation. Another aspect that came out was that Sarah was overall very proud of her wealth and what she has done.She didnt seem too humble or humble. This showed especially when Sarah randomly give tongue to in a conversation l ou n (Moore 1) wltnout even Delng asked. DescrlDe tne aaoptlon process through Tassies eyes. What aspects of her personality come out during Othis process? Tassie describes the acceptance process as Adoption seemed like both a cruel Joke and a lovely day-dream a practiced way of avoiding the blood and pain of giving birth, or, from a childs perspective, a cognise fantasy of your parents not very being your parents. (Moore 16).At the solution of the invigorated Tassie didnt in reality know what to calculate about the adoption, but at the end Tassie really starts to ecome attached to Emmie and she realizes that it doesnt matter where Emmie came from. 6. Describe the evolution of Tassies relationship with her brother, Robert , from the beginning of the figment Ountil the end. Tassies relationship with her brother Robert changed from the beginning to the end of the book because at the beginning they were really close, compared to other brother and sister relationships. They were both very unguided, fleck growing up, so Robert would always look up to Tassie.When Tassie went to Troy for college, Robert had a hard time getting through his last ear of juicy school because he had no one to look up to. When Tassie say Robert, it had often seemed to me, failed to apply himself-musically or academically (Moore 41). They basically grew more(prenominal) and more apart(predicate) until Tassie received an email from him one day saying that he desires to trades union the military. When she shows up in Dellacrosse for his graduation, she finds out that Robert is actually Joining the military. What she doesnt know is that this leave behind be the last time she will ever see him. When Robert dies, Tassie mat m ore distant from him than ever. . What do you make of Edward? Does Edwards behavior at dinner and the small conspiracy he and 0 Tassie establish (pp. 112-114) offer a more tender (or at least more understandable) view of him? I think Edward was really uninterested in being a father again. He didnt seem very into Emmie at all, adopting her or playing with her later they follow her. I feel like he Just didnt seem too fond of having a biracial baby. He didnt even come to any of the adoption meetings until the middle of the one with Bonnie. It seemed like he was always abstracted in action in some sort of way, throughout the adoption process and at home.He seemed to be a big flirt towards Tassie. He would always look at her with a certain look and then all my thoughts were confirmed at the end of the book when he asked her to go to coffee with him. I dont think the small conspiracy offered a more sympathetic view of him. It was kind of weird because from the start of the book basi cally Tassie and Edward had a secret that they wouldnt tell Sarah. I think Tassie realized the kind of person Edward was during this conspiracy and how he likely keeps a lot of secrets from Tassie, Sarah, and probably other heap.This came up especially when he said Lets not tell Sarah, said Edward. Shes got a slightly obsessive side (Moore 113). Also I think Edward didnt emergency to get to know the child because I think it brought back inquisitive memories from the first child. 8. Does A Gate at the Stairs accurately invent the persistence of racialism in America? What do the comments Dand encounters sprinkled throughout in the novel (80, 1 12, 151, 167, 229) show about the various forms Oracialism organizes in our hunting lodge?A Gate at the Stairs accurately reflects the persistence of racism in America because of how all of the events in the book took place after 9/1 1 . Once 9/1 1 occurred, racism grew in America, yet it was still there before it occurred. When Tassie wo uld take Emmie out for errands, she would be looked down upon for Instance wnen lassle sala l nls was all sala In looks, so tne trutn could not De uttered, but I saw again and again what it was simply to walk into a store for a doughnut and maintain a wordless racial experience (Moore 167-168).She especially got looks from white pack such as when she said To the white woman I was a whoring girl messing around with anyone (Moore 167). The comments and encounters in the ovel showed that there are many forms of racism in our society. The first way that I stated was more of a looking down upon way while Instead, he glared right at little Mary-Emma and shouted, Nigger (Moore 1 51) was more of a verbal way. 9.What is the vastness of Tassies description of Mary-Emmas affection for Reynaldo the colorblindness of Osmall children is a myth she noticed difference and sameness, with about equal interest there was no ODilemma of Difference as my alliteration- loving professors on occasion put it (p. 169)? The importance of Tassies description f Mary-Emmas affection for Reynaldo is that she didnt care about the color of Reynaldos skin color or what he looked like and she just cared about his personality. 10.On page 296, Tassie offers a thoughtful explanation of the purpose of morality in peoples lives. Are there Oother lessons about the meaning of religion or faith to be found in the novel? Yes, there are other lessons on religion on faith and an example would be when Bonnie Amber wanted to name Mary-Emma raised Catholic. This shows that many people are Judgmental about religion, and even though shes giving p her baby to some other family of a possible other religion, they still want their baby to be Catholic no matter if the new parents arent Catholic. 1. Does the novel prepare you for Sarahs dreadful confession (232-242)? What particular incidents or conversations foreshadow the revelations? I think the novel does prepare us for Sarahs dreadful confession becaus e you can tell that something is missing throughout the book. You can tell that theyre not rotund Tassie something about their past because they never even told her why they were adopting and why they idnt Just have a child on her own.I think the whole hide something makes Tassie feel on edge throughout the whole book which was probably why Tassie wasnt even that surprised and didnt really have a answer when Sarah told her the story. I especially saw when Sarah said (Moore ) that she was hiding something. Also, Edward always being missing seemed kind of suspicious and it might have been cause of his immorality towards the first child, which we didnt know about then. 12. Was their decision to move and start anew the best solution under the circumstances? It epends on how you look at it.If you look at it like they were Just two parents that made a horrible parenting mistake and it was Just an accident and they deserve a chip chance, then yes you could argue that that was probab ly their only chance of getting another chance. If you look at it Just from the fact that they killed their child, then no. They shouldnt have changed their names and moved on Just like that to try and barricade their horrible past which was obviously bound to come back and gyp them eventually. ** Thank you, Oprah, for many of these awesome questions
