Who does the novel frame as its intended audience? What knowledge does it assume on the part of the reader? How does this make an “in-group” or “outsider” category, and for whom?
What does the novel suggest can be learned from previous generations (i.e., grandparents or great-grandparents) that cannot be learned from parents? What does it suggest is the reason for this difference?
