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.

The theme that we think for American born Chinese is relationship. The first relationship is between Jin and Wei Chen Sun. They helped each other get through elementary school. The second relationshp was between anny and Melanie. Danny through the whole book was trying to get her to like him, and that was pretty hard because of Chin Kee, Chin Kee also had a relationship with Danny. The only difference was that this was a bad one. The fourth and final relationship was between Wei Chen and Suzy.

MONKEY MAN STITCHES December 1 2011

Two themes that would work with book are growing up pain and pleasure and greed as downfall. two examples are when jin was growing up and had to move to a new school. the other one was when jin kissed wei-chans girlfriend and then got in a fight with him and ended their friendship. example of greed as downfall was when monkey king went to the party and they wouldn't let him in so he beat everyone up. and the other example was when the monkey king was stuck under the rock and refused to turn into a monkey.

Why would you want to change your hair style? What is it that you like about Amellia? Why does the Monkey King brag so much? Why don't you act like you don't know Chin Kee? Do you ever want to go back to China. We asked these questions because every time someone moves they always think about moving back. We think that he should be himself.
