"While my hair was still cut straight across my

forehead

I played about the front gate, pulling flowers.

You came by on bamboo stilts, playing horse,

You walked about my seat, playing with blue

plums.

And we went on living in the village of Chokan:

Two small people, without dislike or suspicion."

The first stanza of "The River Merchant's Wife" emphasizes youth, nature, and playing between children. The verb "play" is repeated three times, and she mentions "flowers" and "blue plums." There is harmony between the presence of "I" and "you."

"While my hair was still cut straight across my

forehead

The use of the word "while" and the image of her haircut as a child shows us the recollection of when they first met, before they were to marry.

And we went on living in the village of Chokan:

Two small people, without dislike or suspicion."

The "You" and "I" merge at the end of the first stanza, forming a "we"

Summarize what Gurung's life was like BEFORE and AFTER arriving in the United States? Provide two quotes with your explanation.

Natali [406]

Answer:

Before arriving to the United States, Gurung's life was always in danger: "Many of us were tortured and imprisoned. We had no choice but to flee to Nepal to save our lives".

He was from Bhutan but he had to go to Nepali's refugee camps. After twenty years, he decided to move to the United States. In the US, he kept struggling, he couldn't find a job and he didn't speak the language: "But here in the United States, my community continues to struggle. We arrived in the U.S. when the economy was at its lowest point, so we struggle to find jobs. Many of us do not speak English, and lack of education makes it even more difficult for us to learn (...)".

However, Gurung explains that he now helps other refugees to have a successful transition between the place where they come from and the United States and he's very happy about it and about his family.

Explanation:

To complete this exercise, you have to read a text about what Til Gurung said in a Refugee Transitions talk, and then summarize what Gurung's life was like before and after arriving in the United States. In his talk, he explains a little bit about his life and how Refugee Transitions is filling a need in his community.
