Discussion Questions for 'Homelanding'

Who is the narrator? Who is the addressee?
Can you relate the story to the reading ‘Paradigm’?
How does the story make ‘normal’ activities strange?
Think about the story’s descriptions of gender
Is the effect of estrangement or defamiliarization consistent?
Where does the phrase ‘take me to your leader’ come from?
Two images run though the story – redness and mirrors. Why? Are they linked?
