1.The author starts off talking about how much she hates pigs and how they are disgusting creatures who smell, which relates to the title, which has Pigs in it, it also gives you the effect that this story so far is very negative and will continue to be negative.
2.That any good Vietnamese family is a self sustaining one, and that they are all good and very self dependant.
3. The mother comes from a long line of hypochondriacs which means that she is constantly cautious of her health and other's health. This is humorous because she is eating natural plants which she believes to make herself healthier which is exactly what a hypochondriac would do.
4.This again shows how negative the family are towards certain animals, at the start of the story were Pigs, and now there is how brutally they killed the Pigeons.
5. She thinks they are foul untrustworthy things. “and she took a massive bit from the chickens buttock” “they barged in there thinking they were the top people6. 'blowing raspberries on the bellies of babies' and 'feeding frenzy'
7. A pig is like an ocean is the simile used and it works because you can't turn you back on the ocean or you will get dumped by the wave and can't turn your back on a pig because it will bite you.
8.Tanning like a rotisserie as it shows that the Chinese are into cooking
9. It means that the new world and the old world is divided as the old world would not think twice in killing an animal but the new world does not like it.
10. She is against this as the neighbours must be thinking that that family is crazy it is important as it makes her seem out of the story
11.They don't have pig any more because they have a friend that gives them all the pork that they can eat. As the last pig was unloved and died.
12. Not at all
13. She hates the pig but they mean a lot to her as it reminds her of their family so she likes to remember the pigs.
14.It does this because in her childhood she had a pig that defined her life.
15.It is saying that the pig is a battler.
