1 Re-read the extract from When the Sea Turned to Silver, by Grace Lin.
Chapter 1
R
When the sea turned to silver and the cold chilled the light of the sun, Pinmei knew the
Black Tortoise of Winter had arrived with his usual calmness. When a shrieking wind
pierced the sky, bursting it into darkness, she grew frightened. It was as if the Black Tortoise
of Winter were being forced to the earth, screaming and struggling.
Even the snow, usually so gentle, flew at Pinmei’s mountain hut like sharp needles before
D
falling onto the village below. The village was filled with houses crowded together, and
when villagers climbed up the mountain, their hearty laughs and stomping boots shattered
the quiet. At the sound of their footsteps, Pinmei would scurry away to be out of sight,
along braid trailing her like the tail of a disappearing mouse.
The villagers used to climb up to the mountain hut regularly, requesting that Amah
embroider peonies or five-colored clouds onto silks for weddings and birthdays. Even in
the winter, when the rough stone hut was all but buried, the villagers still came. However,
while they came for Amah’s embroidery skills, they stayed for the old woman’s stories. Even
Pinmei, watching from behind a door, was unable to resist her grandmother’s words.

Chapter 2
Pinmei had not realized how long it had been winter until she was getting the rice for
dinner. When she reached into the jar, her fingers touched the bottom of the container.
Pinmei drew back her hand as if stung. It was too soon! She was only supposed to feel that
smooth base when the tree tips were green and the swallows were awake and singing. The
breath of the Black Tortoise of Winter was still shaking the bare tree branches, and the
birds were still asleep as mussels deep in the sea.
“Pinmei!” Amah called. “What are you doing? Where’s the rice?”
Pinmei grabbed a bowl and filled it. She brought it to Amah, her grandmother shook
FT
her head.
“We shouldn’t be using that bowl, Pinmei,” Amah said, and Pinmei realized she was holding
the blue rice bowl with the rabbit painted on it.
“Sorry,” Pinmei said.
“You know that bowl is only for special occasions,” Amah said. “My grandfather—”
“Received it from the king of the City of Bright Moonlight,” Pinmei finished, an impish
A
smile curving. “But he wasn’t the king yet when your grandfather got it, so I don’t think it
counts as a royal gift.”
“You only tease your poor grandmother when we are alone.” Amah pretended to sigh.
“When I tell people how you taunt an old woman, they don’t believe me. ‘Little Pinmei?’
They say. ‘She’s just as shy as a little mouse.’”
R
Pinmei made a face as Amah grinned at her. It was true that now, alone with Amah, her
words did not freeze in her throat. She didn’t know why, at the sight of anyone unfamiliar,
she felt like a fish trapped in a bowl of ice, unable
to even gasp for air.
D
...
“Do you wish I were different?” Pinmei asked.
“Different?” Amah asked. “How?”
Pinmei shrugged, embarrassed. “Maybe if I talked
more or did things,” Pinmei said. “Like Yishan.”
“I never wish for you to be anyone except
yourself,” Amah said, looking into Pinmei’s
eyes. “I know that when it is time for you to do
something, you will do it.”
