Chapter Eleven: Without Wood--> Rose Hsu Jordan

American Translation


"According to my mother, Old Mr. Chou was the guardian of a door that opened into dreams" (186). Rose tells that she used to always listen to her mother and of how Old Mr. Chou would take her to scary places. When she fell asleep, she had nightmares, but her sisters would have pleasant dreams. Rose had found the divorce papers and a ten thousand dollar check left by Ted in the mailbox. She didn't know what to do. She was basically unconscious for three days because she took sleeping pills. Ted calls her and she has him come to the house to pick up the papers, but she gives him the papers unsigned because she has decided that she does not wish to move.
