- In the classroom, Lovey is ridiculed by her teacher for using Pidgin English, a Hawaiian-style patois considered an inferior form of Standard English. Does language diversity have a place in the classroom? If so, how can it be integrated? If not, why not?
- Girl cliques like The Rays of the Rising Dawn are common among teens. Lovey did—yet didn’t—want to fit in. Do you have a story to share about trying to fit in when you were growing up?
- In Lovey’s fantasy, she wins the Halloween contest with her Hawaiian arrangement of the Captain and Tennille hit, “Love Will Keep Us Together.” Do you think the nod to ‘70s popular culture works in this story?
