This is Fugu, blowfish, the last meal you'll ever take for granted. To more fully interpret the story "A Family Supper" by Kazuo Ishiguro, answer these questions to yourself (or better yet in your journal): What does Kikuko stamping out the cigarette in her father's garden say about her? Why does Ishiguro include the part where the father states that the gun boats or his model ship could have been better glued? Why does he mention that he would have liked to have used the "ultimate weapon" in the war. How would his life have been different if he had? Why doesn't the father give him a straight answer when the narrator asks him what they're eating? Is there more to the father's life than work?
