Reflection: The Great Listen By Rocky Zhang

The third section of the essay uses narration but also analysis, as Liu examines the effects of his assimilation. As Liu narrates his experiences in college, he analyzes their importance as related to his own acceptance into white American culture. Liu examines the cause and effect of his acts in college, like how he chose not to be pigeonholed by the race-specific clubs. He considers whether it was a good idea to distance himself from his Chinese culture in order to achieve success and respect in America. The third section deals with Liu’s college experience and how it played a part in his

One of the greatest obstacle that controls the experience of China for Mark Salzman is his race. Mark Salzman has been fascinated with the Chinese culture since he was young. It was his dream to visit China and practice wushu. However, he did not know that being a foreigner has such an impact on the way he lived in China. He was always in the center of attention.

Four Chinese mothers have migrated to America. Each hope for their daughter’s success and pray that they will not experience the hardships faced in China. One mother, Suyuan, imparts her knowledge on her daughter through stories. The American culture influences her daughter, Jing Mei, to such a degree that it is hard for Jing Mei to understand her mother's culture and life lessons. Yet it is not until Jing Mei realizes that the key to understanding who her

Known for her notable achievements in memoirs and fiction, Maxine Hong Kingston published China Men: a literature composed of stories about Chinese men in her family. One story distinguishes the heroic journey of grandfather Ah Goong. Ah Goong worked to build the railroad, but was driven out when it was completed in 1869; he then became a homeless wanderer in San Francisco. Upon hearing this fact, Kingston’s family called him Fleaman as “they did not understand his accomplishments as an American ancestor, a holding, homing ancestor of this place” (Kingston 151). What Kingston actually meant by Ah Goong being “an American ancestor” was that he had many accomplishments, but those achievements weren’t communicated to Kingston’s family. To support this claim, I will talk about how Ah Goong’s accomplishments were silenced by photography and by unfortunate circumstances.

All the Light We Cannot See, by Anthony Doerr, is a historical drama that takes place during the Second World War. Werner and Marie-Laure are two striking characters of the book that have very different points of view. Werner becomes a young Nazi after being offered a position at a school in Schulpforta. Marie-Laure is a blind French girl that flees her home in Paris for Saint Malo. Due to the contrasting decisions and beliefs of these two main characters, the reader is able to interpret key events of the plot through the eyes of a victim of the war and those of a young Nazi.

I feel like the book Night lets off a very sad a depressing mood. The setting of this book is a various amount of concentration camps that Elie and his dad go to. The main central idea of Night is to explain the experiences in the Holocaust. I personally think that this book is a good book for young adults and not kids because it uses some language and it’s very descriptive.

To delve into a piece of my family’s immigration history, I had the pleasure of having an in-depth conversation with my cousin Randall Quan, our family’s historian. In our chat, we navigated through the travels of my great-great-grandfather, Quan Wei. The hour-long discussion allowed me to learn about the dire conditions that lead to the Quan’s decision to leave a small village outside of Gau Gong and also about their rich history upon arriving in America.

Sooner or later the second son turned into Wang’s personal Steward what it came to the money. The third son resembles the strength of Wang Lung. The third son fought for what he wanted and what he thought was right, and that is what Wang Lung did for his family the entire time. Wang Lung kind of drove his third son away, because he became begrudged when he realized he was too old for Pear Blossom, and his youngest son was the perfect age for her, and so he showed his superiority to the third son and the son got mad and left. Now that Wang is wealthy he has become ignorant about it and he has started spending money recklessly. His sons took on that bad habit and now they arn’t used to living like how Wang lived growing up. Wang is different from his sons because his father raised him the right was and thought him that he isn’t better than everyone else and that he should work for his money but now his sons are lazy because their father raised them to be lazy and get stuff handed to them. When Wang Lung grew up he had to grow up in tattered and worn clothes and growing up his sons always had nice new clothes, besides the

In "How Can I Call This My Home" by Lee Chew, many aspects of his autobiography are surprising, if not shocking. First, to realize how rural China is during this time period compared to the United States relates to how the Chinese were cut off from Western society by governmental choice and how that prohibited them from moving into the Industrial Age until much later than the United States and other Western nations. Additionally, Lee Chew's description of the wealth the man from his village had when he came back from America and how that made him decide to proceed to America was interesting, for even though most Chinese came to the United States for economic gain most did not achieve it in the sense that that man did, and that he, unlike Lee

When preparing for an interview, a great deal of thought and consideration needs to be completed before the interview even begins. The person conducting the interview needs to think about where the interview is going to take place, the time of which it will occur at, and what kind of technology will be used. They need to review the file and consider who is being interviewed, what the person has experienced, and how they may be affected. Interviewing someone is a crucial part of policing, and ultimately helps police solve crimes. When it is done properly, it can be very successful, but if it is not done properly, it could ultimately end an investigation. Therefore, an interview can either be successful or not, and here are some points displaying the success and improvements that can be done in interviews.

I agree with the statement “the history of a family begins when a person leaves home” . when Chang left rural tradition behind to make a new life for themselves in the city. The old rules no longer apply, traditional education and family values have little or relevance, and new arrivals in the city have to learn fast and adapt quickly in order to survive and prosper in this strange and often hostile new environment. I saw so many changes for people migration to city .
