1.) "I haven't yet aborted, although I did deposit your check." (Ozeki 208).
This quote refers to when Jane is talking to Sloan about their baby. She sent him a fax after continuously ignoring his calls. Why do you think Jane didn't get the abortion? Does she actually want the baby or does she just like the idea of a baby?
2.) "I will visit Chicago and Colorado and scout both women, I will send you my opinions, but of course, the final decision is yours. You call the shots." (Ozeki 208).
This quote is from Jane's letter to "John" Ueno. She is talking about the changes she wants to make to the show and her new approach. Why did Jane tell "John" her plans for the show if she knew he wouldn't like them? Why is she being so submissive to him when she is the one with the power?
3.) "Life is bloody, she thought, wiping her mouth. I don't mind, because it can't be helped."(Ozeki 251).
Here Akiko is thinking to herself days after "John" has raped her. Why is Akiko so accepting of the rape? Why doesn't she leave him instead of staying and taking all of his abuse? Is this a common thing of the time or is she just extremely emotionally scarred from "John's" abuse?
4.) "Bunny's" husband and Akiko's husband share one thing in common; a name. Do you think they share anything else in common? Can you draw any parallels between them?
5.) Did this chapter change your opinion on meat? When Jane was going through the farm did you feel differently about the meat you see as a normal part of your diet?
