Choose one prompt: Ma finally tells her own story. How does her story show how she has changed from the beginning of the book? What is different now? When Minli returns to Dragon, she is able to show him why he can’t fly. What does she do? When Dragon discovers Minli sacrificed her opportunity to ask her own question in order to ask his, he wants to fly her back to the Old Man of the Moon. Minli replies that she does not have to ask the question because she already knows the answer. She realized fortune and gold do not make a fortune; it is something else. What does Minli mean? Do you agree with her? Why or why not? On the way back home, Minli and Dragon see another dragon. Minli thinks the dragon looks familiar. Why does she think this? Dragon begins to act a bit strange. He seems reluctant to leave Fruitless Mountain, and Minli agrees to walk home from there. Why do you think he was acting this way? Why do you think he said he felt he was home? |
