Today’s discussion - You are in a circle for a reason. The inner circle discusses. The outer circle coaches. We will switch roles. Outer circle takes notes on what their inner circle partner says.

Discussion Point 1 How are stories and books symbolic both in this section of the novel and throughout the entire novel? Think particularly about U Ba’s vocation and Tin Win’s voracious appetite for reading.
