Additional Info
Hi all,

As discussed earlier, please read 'Chinese Cinderella – Preface' (OneNote; 01. Memoir) and answer the following questions in your book (full sentences):

  1. Why do you think Yen Mah felt "compelled" (driven) to write her autobiography?​

  2. "In one way or another, every one of us has been shaped by the stories we have read and absorbed in the past. All stories, including fairy tales, present elemental truths, which can sometimes permeate your inner life and become part of you." Why do you think Yen Mah describes herself as a 'Chinese Cinderella'?​

  3. What message/s does Yen Mah want the reader to take from her book?

If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to pop by the Staff Room or drop me an email.

Have a lovely evening,

Mr Heeney
