CTBC: Gender Characterization

FEMALES- Usually referred to as "she", "her", etc. rather than their names. (ex. "I am anxious to hear about my sister.")
BOTH- Spoken to with much respect.
MALES- Names are usually mentioned. (ex. "Perhaps it is my brother John.")
SIGNIFICANCY- Sets the audience further apart from the story. Leaves a sense of mystery. Lets us know about prejudice and segregation. Informs us about culture.

p.s. Who ever named the valley of Lufafa is my new favorite.
