Story: Lee
Conflicts Internal
External
-Grandmother and Uncle Raja
Grandmother was racism and bigotry about Uncle Raja who married her daughter(“And always, in Grandmother’s eyes, that black man who stole her most beautiful daughter” (pg 111))
Climax The climax began when Beverly mentioned that she was going around
Asia. It gave the author of the story something to think about his travels and
how he has never gotten a chance to explore Asia.
Resolution
Complete Resolution
-The conflicts are all resolved and when the narrator opened the lid to his tea, he saw in it all his relatives and his future.
Characters
Beverly
.She is high-class(“Hers in a pot, trimmed at the top and base in a blue and gold pattern –Japanese imitating Royal Doulton- with matching cup, saucer, tiny jug of milk, a plated spoon and tea strainer on its own base, all produced on a gleaming tray with roses and briars worked onto hangles” (pg 108))
.She is arrogant (“I studied nineteenth and twentieth century Chinese history, you know” (pg 111)) .She is ungrateful (“It’s just that you and your family, and all the other relatives have really spoilt me here in Singapore and Malaysia. You’re always feeding me, looking after me” (pg 112))
Grandmother .She is mean(“…a man eats the heart of a banana tree and at night becomes the evil oily man, committing atrocious crimes, black and slippery in the night…Uncle Raja was the oily man” (pg 112))
The most interesting part in this story was the starting of the story when the author and Beverly was served differently which I find it hard to understand if both were served tea at the same place, should they be given the same kind of treatment they paid equally for.
