“Touching Bottom” by Kari Strutt Before you read the story, reflect on the title and jot down some quick ideas in association with it and read through the questions. After you read, record thoughtful responses to the following: 1. The story begins with a retelling of some of the narrator’s childhood memories. Is this effective? Why or why not? 2. How would the story change if it were told in third-person? Would this be as effective? Why or why not? 3. Look at the passages in italics (not the titles); what is different about them? What function do they serve? 4. What conflicts and complications does the narrator face and how does she resolve them? 5. Describe the way in which Kari Strutt has used swimming as a unifying device within the story from the title to the closing line. What are the important strands that are woven together? How does swimming function as a symbol and what are the different meanings of the phrase “touching bottom”?
