1. In “Miss Clairol” by Helena Maria Viramontes, where does Arlene go first and what is the first thing she contemplates buying? How is this product reflective of the Arlene's personality but also her character? What could this say about the women in the Chicana culture? Why do you think the story was named after this product?
2. Who is Arlene in relationship to Champ? What are the lessons and mannerisms she seems to be passing onto her? Does Champ seem to be picking them up? Are these just Arlene’s habits or could be applied to the greater culture?
