Lan Samantha Chang’s “Water Names”
Sample Outline
Thesis: The narrator in the Water Names clearly demonstrates her skillful art of how
heritage for long has been used to solve problems bedeviling the society. As in this story,
three sisters who have been constantly squabbling are sitting together to listen to their
grandmother, this demonstrates a central role elders play in the society to bring people
together. The Water Names story shows that oral traditions are significant in uniting the
society and solving social problems to build a formidable community.
Assertion 1
The narrator asserts that elders are the protectors of the heritage and are
knowledgeable about oral traditions. The decision of the author, to have a grandmother sit
down with her granddaughters to tell them stories, paints a clear picture that old people have
knowledge about traditions and their help should always be sought as far as understanding of
heritage is concerned.
YourLastName 2
Assertion 2
The narrator suggests that there is a close association between the living
people and their ancestors. The grandmother in this story is seated down with her
granddaughters telling them that their ancestors lived near the river in point in this story.
From this claim, the narrator seeks to insinuate that as far as people, ignore the ancestors they
need to understand that there is still a connection between them and their ancestors.
Assertion 3
The story is established as an oral tradition, where the grandmother, who is a
storyteller, is telling her granddaughters that their ancestors lived in their one thousand years
their ancestors lived near the river to the utter shock of one of the granddaughter.
Assertion 4
The narrator’s allusion to the Himalayas Mountain, river, and the ancestors
communicate heritage and generally how ancestors were part and parcel of the society people
live today.

Introduction:
In the story of “Water Names”, Samantha uses her artistic skills to communicate a
message about cultural heritage. Even though her story is from the perspective of Chinese,
but there is a general message that every society has a cultural heritage. However, the young
YourLastName 3
people to some extent may not know much about their heritage and sometimes may not have
much interest in it, but those who are close to old people, like their grandmothers can share
with them their cultural heritage (““Water Names” By Lan Samantha Chang”n.p).
Furthermore, it takes acceptance for the young people to sit down with their elders to be told
stories about their ancestors’ stories. Generally speaking, the story of “Water Names”
communicates cultural heritage, which can be descended to young people through storytelling
by their elders.
Body
The author gives a setting of storytelling, which to some large extent
introduces the audience to oral tradition. Cultural heritage ordinarily has been shared widely
by the word of mouth and grandparents have always taken a lead communicating cultural
heritage. Samantha, in this story through, has creativity makes it possible for one to imagine,
perhaps their past experiences with their grandparents. Sisters are assembling at one point to
listen to their grandmother, but there seems to be a struggle who should sit nearest to their
grandparent. For someone who has ever lived with their grandparents and had been interested
in their stories, they are likely to remember the kind of struggle they had on who should sit
next to their grandparent. In essence, this story is used oral tradition to communicate cultural
heritage, and therefore it is doubtless to mention that Water Names is the story of cultural
heritage.
There is also an account of ancestors living near the river, and according to the
grandmother featured in the story; they lived there one thousand years ago. “Our ancestors
have lived near the mouth of this river, the ever-changing delta, near a city called Nanjing,
for more than a thousand years (paragraph 5).”By simply mentioning where the ancestors of
the sisters in this story, it justifies that the story is communicated cultural heritage. This is a
grandparent with lots of information about their culture and therefore she acts as a linking
YourLastName 4
symbol between the young generation (granddaughters) and their ancestors. Thus, she plays a
crucial role in communicating their cultural heritage and indeed this young generation of her
granddaughters, perhaps in future would have to share the same information at their old age
and that is exactly how cultural heritage is propagated across generations.
There are some accounts of cultural practices that seem to communicate
cultural heritage. The grandmother in this story says to her granddaughter “just to keep up
your Chinese, (paragraph 3). This statement may appear express, but there is an insinuation
of some cultural practices that their grandmother wants her granddaughters to stick to.
Elderly people are champions of cultural practices and in their position; they believe that they
have to tell young people to stick to their cultural practices to preserve that that were
practiced by their ancestors. The daughters, in this case, are not required to remain Chinese,
by appearance or anything associated with that, but the message being communicated here is
that these sisters should continue preserving Chinese cultural practices. Therefore, this
message is strong and it is a proof that Chang, through her artistic skills wants to
communicate a message that the Chinese people have their cultural heritage, where elderly
people must take a lead in educating the young, to stick to it.
There is a personal account, of the grandmother featured in this story, where
she says “When I was young, my own grandmother once told me the story of Wen Zhiqing’s
daughter” (paragraph 8). This statement in itself communicates that elderly people have been
constant at their individual level to share their cultural heritage. Hence, from the above
quote, it is now compelling to state that “Water Names” is a story communicating cultural
heritage, particularly from the Chinese perspective.
In conclusion, Chang in this story raises fundamental cultural issues, which
any sane society pays attention to. In her story, she paints a picture that young people are
critical in the perseveration of cultural heritage and thus the elderly should seize the
YourLastName 5
opportunity to talk to the young people. Communicating issues related to cultural heritage to
the young people, even though by word of mouth clearly shows the passing of cultural
heritage to the next generation.

ADDITIONAL PROMPT GUIDANCE
• Change the word “communicates” in the prompt to one more appropriate to your specific argument as needed;
communicate is a very broad term. Example substitutes: warns, informs, proposes, questions, challenges, etc.
• Capture the appropriate scope for your argument within your thesis statement. Think of your thesis as an umbre
under which all your assertions must be broadly covered—the umbrella cannot be vague, or you have left extra spa
potential assertions alluded to but undeveloped in your paper; the umbrella cannot be too narrow, or you haven’t co
all the assertions your paper argues. Create a thesis that is both broad (expressing the appropriate scope to cover or
encompass your assertions) and specific (detailed in a way that categorizes your assertions, encapsulating their
relationship/connection to each other within the thesis statement without listing them directly).
• All responses to any of these prompts should attempt to use the elements of fiction as evidence for your assertio
(NOT within your assertions/argument—remember A/E/C structure). It is easy to stick to offering plot and characte
evidence alone, but consider plot structure, language (in the story and in the title), voice, style, setting, POV, and an
significant elements of fiction (juxtaposition, symbolism, allegory, color imagery, tone, etc.) that supports your arg
when you are presenting evidence.
• Your paper should provide the story’s full context, (generally, briefly, and when appropriate) so the reader kno
what happens in the story from start to end without having read the actual story. Your paper should use the entire sc
the story to prove its argument. This is not to say you must discuss every event or small circumstance in the story. T
to say you must provide enough varied context and evidence that the reader finishes your paper and knows what ge
happens in the story. They should know the most significant parts of the story and how they prove your argument a
