Fish Cheeks:
A brief little summary of this article includes a young Chinese girl with a crush on an American boy. Embarrassed of what the boy with think of her, the different culture of foods and her family. At first she had been embarrassed but later realized that the opinion of a young boy wouldn't change the fact that she was Chinese and Chinese cultures do things differently then the American culture.
Superman and Me:
This was a short article about a young Indian boy in reservation where his dad was somewhat of a book hoarder. At a young age even when the young boy couldn't read he still wanted to love books as much as his father did. The young boy began to go to school and read boxes constantly. He refused to be known as a failure. He begins to explain towards the end how it was very uncommon for indians to learn to read and how he didn't want to be known as the stereotype of not knowing how to read. He began to fall in love with books just as much as his dad did when he was a young boy.

ReplyDeleteYou made valid points in both your summaries and it's interesting that you chose to write about Fish Cheeks when it looks like you had more to say about Superman and Me. I hope your essay comes easy.
ReplyDeleteI am curious Taylor, Why did you choose Fish Cheeks? I also think that you summarized the stories well. Good Job! Taylor
