1. What is fuku, and what is its effect on the other characters?
2. Contrast the narrators between the first two chapters.
3. Contrast pre-pubescent Oscar with adolescent/teenage Oscar.
4. Describe the "Dominican ideal of manhood" that Oscar must contend with. Why is it particularly difficult for him?
