American Born Chinese pg. 81-160

The passages on page 89 I think are worth bringing up. On this page Jin tries to express his feelings to Wei-Chen about the girl he cannot stop thinking about. Wei-Chen tells him he is a fool for liking a girl before he is 18, and then the next week Jin see's Wei-Chen dating a girl. I think this is a good passage to bring up because it shows how people can react to situations and how hypocritical people can be. Not only did Jin not get any advice from Wei-Chen, but now he can not feel like he can trust him. It is important to always keep your word and to have people be able to trust you.

Page 111 is a passage worth bringing up. In this passage the teacher is asking questions to the class and no one wants to answer. Then Chin-Kee answers the question and gets praise from the teacher. The teacher responds to the class saying, "It would behoove you all to be a little more like Chin-Kee."I feel like people should never say you should be more like somebody else. Everybody is there own person and no body should change that. There are better ways to get people involved or get your point across other than insulting their personality. How do you feel about this?

From page 105 to 106 is a great invisible passage. On 105 Jin gets the confidence to ask Amelia on a date. She responds to Jin and says yes. Then in big bubble letters the word YES comes out of her mouth and runs off the page and right onto the next page where Jin is sleeping. This running off the page of the letters is a great way to show that he was thinking about it all day right until he went to bed.

Another good invisible passage is from pages 109 to 110. On page 109 it shows their school and in big letters the word "Brrring!" which symbolizes the start of school. Then when you flip the page it shows the inside of the school and what goes on. From when you flip the first page the blank space makes the transition into the school. This is a good time to let your imagination set in before you see the next page.
