The Monkey 's Head Of The King

Another ominous bird appears when Robert and his men are close to enemy lines. The bird "[sings] over their heads" (136) causing

Which leads us to the character of Chin-Kee. At first he seems like a way for the author to call out the racist sitcom culture. With Chin-Kee’s extremely yellow complexion, his heavy Chinese accent and his high intelligence, he fits all the racist stereotypes people have of Asians. However, we later learn that Chin-Kee was a disguise for the Monkey King and when we realize that Danny was formerly known as Jin Wang, Chin-Kee’s character gains another layer. Chin-Kee’s character does not just call out the racist sitcom culture, he is also there as a manifestation of Jin Wang’s internalized racism.

He was scared, but even when he wanted to escape: “But he instantly saw that it would be impossible for him to escape from the regiment. It inclosed him. And there were iron laws of tradition and law on four sides. He was in a moving box. (41). He stayed because he felt as if he owed something morally, not out of his own volition. Furthermore, we see another sign of his immaturity in this quote: “As he perceived this fact it occurred to him that he had never wished to come to the war. He had not enlisted of his free will. He had been dragged by the merciless government. And now they were taking him out to be slaughtered” (39). He does not understand the big picture of being a soldier and is trying to pin responsibility for his actions onto the government – another reason why he

The tickling sensation of heat bathing his face forced him to slowly open his eyes. The sun’s golden rays stunned him blurring his vision as he quickly turned away. As his eyes adjusted, he was surprised to find the absence of his father. His heart started to pound and all the confidence and security that he had built up melted in the space of a few seconds. He jumped up flinging his sleeping bag on to the ground and looked around taking note of his surroundings. To him, it felt as if the trees were suddenly sent out to attack him like stealthy assassins gaining on him as they moved side to side from the winds steady breeze. The faint noise of bugs and animals chattering sounded like the grunt of a predator before it hunts its prey. A colossal cloud

After I returned from my survival test, the two old people trained me in dragon ways, which took another eight years. Copying the tigers, their stalking kill, and their anger had been a wild, bloodthirsty joy. Tigers are easy to find, but I needed adult wisdom to know dragons. ‘You have to infer the whole dragon from the parts you can see and touch,’ the old people would say. Unlike tigers, dragons are so immense, I would never see one in its entirety. But I could explore the mountains, which are the top of its head. ‘These mountains are also like the tops of other

Here he was, prepared to combat his mortal enemy, a situation he had yearned for since discovering Azog was alive. Yet he felt no anticipation, no buzz of excited fear that generally accompanied battle.

The story begins on a rainy evening with Mrs. White, Mr. White, and their son Herbert gathered in the parlor.
