This story was difficult to understand for me and I felt that if it was told in a more factual way it would have been more effective. At the end of the story I was left feeling a bit confused and I wasn't sure what had actually happened.

No Name Woman Critique by Dora Barnhill
No Name Woman by Maxine Hong Kingston was a very interesting book and can be interpreted in many different ways. My interpretation was that her mother was just telling her a false story about a Aunt that was fictional to teach her daughter about the ways of the Chinese people and what is right and wrong. I feel like that from the story that she made up what she thought had happened to her "Aunt" and why her aunt did what she did.

I agree. The story was a bit hard to comprehend. Because it was being told as if her mom was still telling it, it was harder to fellow what was going on.Good job, Dora.
