Maxine Hong Kingston’s “No Name Woman”~ I think the main theme of this story is about the old ways that the girls parents still go by. What is right and wrong to do in a amongst a closely-knit village. The setting was in a china rice village at a house that had a well and farm animals. The point of view is told by the chinese girl.
Jean Toomer’s “Becky”~ I theme of the story clearly has to do with the impact of death on people, but more so with what they can leave behind... such as fear. In addition, to the setting adding to theme because it was a time where race was still an important factor of life. The person telling the story remains anonymous, and the setting is fairly vague meaning that their pretty insignificant to the point the author is trying to make.
