SuitabookMaking friends with Billy Wong
Augusta Scattergood
- Reading
- Read a section from each character's perspective, then pause to compare their voices and what each brings to the story. Let the historical setting prompt questions as they arise.
- Themes
- Two voices, one story: Azalea's story is in prose, while Billy's is presented as poetic narrative. The contrasting forms give the two characters distinct narrative voices.
- Worth knowing
- Prejudice and unfriendliness are part of the setting, including around Billy's family's grocery store. The story also takes place in the segregated South.
