The Beastly Hated 12-1-11

For American Born Chinese we chose the theme, Lost honor. This theme works because, The Monkey lost his honor from the monkey's that obeyed him before he went to the club. Jin lost his honor from Wei-Chen because he kissed his girlfriend, and they got in a fight. Danny lost honor for Chin-kee because he was so embarrassing that Danny had to move to different school, because Chin-kee always ends up embarrassing him. Then one last reason it fits is because Danny lost honor from Chin-kee because Chin-kee always makes his friends not want to like or hang out with Danny after Chin-kee has visited.
For Stitches we chose the theme, Power of Words. This theme works because, David's parents were always yelling at him, and telling him he was always doiong something wrong. David started ignoring everyone and not saying anything at all, So there's another theme that would work, the power of silence. There is another reason that the power of words would work, because when David went to the psychiatrist he told him that his mother didn't love him, and David went home and cried. This reason leads into another reason for why the power of silence works. After the psychiatrist told David this, he was even more silent than he was before.
