1. Throughout Cha’s narrative, but especially on the story of Yu Guan Soon, what do you see as the connection between time and memory?
2. Similar to Zoe’s question on Cha’s usage of French, how does Cha use “language” as tool to illustrate notions of national belongingness, or “home”? (I’m thinking about Cha’s literal incorporation of different languages and her narrative about mother)
3. In her chapter, URANIA ASTRONOMY, Cha asserts two images. What does the juxtaposition of these two images tell us about perceptions of knowledge / meaning?
