Man, by Allen Say, to yourself.

The text states, “One day Baachan said, ‘Jiichan, you haven’t said a word in three days.’ Based upon the text, why has he not spoken?

On page 6, Jiichan says, “Well, good morning to you, rickety old bridge…” Based on the text and illustration, what does the word “rickety” mean?

• After Jiichan’s ride to the city he states, “You’d think I was in another country.” Why did he say this?

• Based upon the text, compare and contrast the city from when he was younger to the present in the story.

• As Jiichan was setting up his box he opened the bottom drawer and said, “Umm, you little jewels…” To what is he referring? Why did he call them jewels?

• On page 14 the words “Clack, clack!” are written in italics. Words can be written in italics for many reasons. Based on the text, why do you think the author chose to italicize these?

• What is the significance of “when television antennas started to sprout from rooftops like weeds in the springtime?”

• What are antennas? What is the author trying to say by comparing antennas to springtime weeds?

• In the end, Baachan asks Jiichan if he will be going out tomorrow. After he says “yes” she agrees to make twice the usual amount of sweets. Based on the text, why might he need twice the usual amount?

• The last line: “I’ll see if I have enough sugar,’ she said, and shut the television off.” Based on evidence found in the text, why would the author end the story with this sentence?
