Lesson 1 (from Part I (Pages 1 - 42))
Objective
The objective of this lesson is for students to analyze Ford's retelling of her mother's physical abuse towards her when she was a child. In Part I, Ford details her memories of often feeling anxious or on-edge as a child due to her mother's frequent fits of rage towards her. Ford also recounts some positive memories of playing with her mother and of her mother taking herself and her brother to see Christmas decorations in town, but her overriding memories of her mother are those of her mother's beatings and frightening volatility.
Lesson
Class Discussion: How does Ford describe her mother's treatment of her as a young child in Part I? What were some reasons Ford's mother gave for physically abusing Ford? How did Ford try to avoid her mother's wrath? What feelings did Ford's beatings give rise to in her as a child?
