One Last Question for "An Arranged Marriage"

What is the significance of the word "dumbstruck" to Amina

"An Arranged Marriage" discussion

The month is passing quickly.  Here are a few questions to think about with regard to "An Arranged Marriage" by Nell Freudenberger.

What do you think about Amina's plan to marry an American to get her to the United States?  Do you think she was honest with George about why she wanted to get married?

Whose viewpoint did you feel the narrator was taking?  Did it feel like the story was told mostly in one person's point of view?

Do you think Amina and George will have a happy marriage?


Next week I'll post information about our last story, "What You Do Out Here, When You're Alone" by Philipp Meyer
