1. Does the title hint at anything ominous? How?
Yes, this story is about a wife who does not loyal to his husband. The wife ran away and disappeared from
her husband's life. So, this situation related to the title of the story.
2. The father does not give any indication to the son that his mother is coming back.Why is that so? Do you think it is acceptable to tell a white lie?
In my opinion, it is acceptable to tell a white lie. This is because it was an useless thing to tell the truth to his son since the fact is so complecated and can make his son feel sad. So, sometime it is better to lie rather that telling the truth.
3. Do you think the saying 'out of sight, out of mind' summarises this short story? How?
No, this is because eventhough the wife ran away from the husband, the husband will never forget his
beloved wife as the one who had appeared in his life.
4. Do Americans and Indians share the same values? Explain.
No. Americans and Indians does not share the same values as the Indians are more tradition than Americans. Indians prefer to wear their traditional clothes while Americans like to wear sexy clothes.
