The jade peony by wayson choy?
Answers:


1- Theme is Chinese suffer more than the japanese do


2- IT is called the jade peony because it represents the 3 children in the story


3- Pohpoh is a woman and Sekky is a boy. They also have secret affairs when they look through garbage. They are all similar because they have a family that carries an insurance for death and they live in canada. They also believe religion is what kills the japanese


4- To make himself known to his mother that he is there and not somewhere else. The significance is that it makes mother realise Sekky is in front of her.


5- Sek-Lung learns to be a better chinese person and tell other people "he is there"
