Answer to Question 1


  • The Chinese American / Hong Kong action star Bruce Lee. She finds him familiar, one gathers, solely because he is a Chinese person who has become a prominent part of Californias popular culture; there is no indication that the woman is at all interested in action films.



Answer to Question 2


  • Because to her, such things make a place feel real and welcoming. This tells us that she comes from a traditional culture in which ancestors matter and their ghosts are a real and comforting presence.
