Compare and contrast the depictions of ghosts and/or haunting you find in Tracks with those you find inThe Woman Warrior. Point to specific scenes and textual details from both novels in your response.
Your response should answer the questions: How are Hong Kingston’s and Erdrich’s depictions of ghosts and hauntings similar? Where and how do they differ?

Though not required as part of your response, you may want to apply some of Brogan’s ideas about cultural haunting, from either/both today’s reading (“Ghost Dancing and Cultural Translation”) and/or Monday’s reading (“American Stories of Cultural Haunting: Tales of Heirs and Ethnographers”) as an interpretive lens in your response.
Remember to point to specific textual evidence from both readings to back up your claims in answer to the questions above.
