Problem
A. Cathy Park Hong recalls not having an outlet to express the racism she experienced growing up. How has writing provided that outlet for her as an adult?
B. Race informs Hong's writing, though the academic circles she was a part of discouraged this. How can art and language be influenced by identity?
C. How has Hong's work helped her explore her own culture and provided a window for others to understand it?
D. The myth of the model minority isolates Asian Americans from other people of color. How does Hong's writing work to overcome this isolation?
