For her sculpture of her father, Ka chooses "a piece of mahogany that was naturally flawed, with
a few superficial cracks along what was now

the back. I'd thought these cracks beautiful and had
made no effort to polish them away, as they seemed like the wood's own scars, like the one my
father had on his face.” What does this passage suggest about the differences between Ka and
her father? In what ways has he tried to "polish away" his own scars?

Ka's father, like other fathers past and present, try to set an example for their children. They try to rid themselves of all imperfections. Ka wanted her sculpture to represent her father for who he truly was. When in reality its who he wanted least to be.
