Discuss the Isabo. How are the "two old white ladies" different from them? How are they the same? Why do Margarita and Joanna want to live in the Isabo village for a year? Why do the Isabo think that they are stingy and selfish? Why do the Isabo think they are "fun to watch?" Why do the Isabo think they are ignorant? Are they?

Why does Alicia befriend Joanna and Margarita? Why does she try to teach them how to behave when no one else will? Why does she feel sorry for them? Do they appreciate what she tries to do for them? Do they listen to her advice? Does she really help them?

Why do Joanna and Margarita want to study the Isabo? What do they hope to learn? Why does the village decide at one point that they want Joanna and Margarita...
