Janu visits the book club to spend time with Hana and Nokana. During their conversation, Hana discusses her preference for literature that forces the reader to question their own feelings, while Nokana argues for a more open-ended interpretation of art, using a poem to demonstrate how tone can change meaning. The group also discusses Ms. Wanasha, with Hana characterizing her as erratic and prone to mumbling to herself, while Nokana notes her tendency to talk excessively. Janu remains largely neutral during their debates. Hana expresses a desire to visit Janu’s classroom to observe his teaching style once the upcoming standardized tests are finished. The event concludes with Janu leaving the two to continue their discussion, noting his newfound appreciation for poetry, despite his general disinterest in books.
