joy luck club quick write

In the Joy Luck Club, one of the main characters, Shuyuan Woo tells her daughter June Woo different stories all the time. The one that stuck out the most to her daughter was the Kweilin story. Shuyuan tells her daughter of how she made her club, the Joy Luck Club. She changed her stories a couple times. The first version to the story is when she ends it with talking about the Joy Luck Club and how it was formed, she tells about the other women who were involved in the club and how they kept each other up in hard times.

Another ending to the story was when she won money from playing a game with the women of the Joy Luck Club and how she used that to buy rice. That rice turned into porridge and then that gruel for two feet of a pig. Then the feet became eggs and the eggs became chickens.

The last version to the story was when she tells her daughter that she had to leave her children back in her country. A man told Shuyuan to leave Kweilin because the Japanese were coming. After this, she ran and she was only carrying two bags that had food and the other that had clothes. On her arms, she carried her two babies. After days of running away, she dropped the bags because her hands became bloody and then when she was too tired, she also left her babies behind. Then, that was when she arrived to America to have a new life with new children.

Shuyuan Woo changes the story that she tells her daughter because she does not want her to know of the type of mother that she was. She had to sacrifice her children in order to be safe. She didn’t want her to know about her two other children and especially not that she had to leave them on the way. It was her way of hiding things from her daughter in order for her to be able to still have that good life that she always wished for her daughter to have.

why chinese mothers are superior-quick write

If a Chinese child gets a B which would never happen—there would first be a screaming, hair-tearing explosion. The devastated Chinese mother would then get dozens, maybe hundreds of practice tests and work through them with her child for as long as it takes to get the grade up to an A.

If it was me i wouldn't know want to do because if i had gooten lower than an A i would be in big trouble.
this for me is scary to really know that there are parents out there that will scream at their kids for not getting the highest grade in the school. I know for some people like some of my friends they say this is true. i was shocked to hear that. at first when they told me this i thought they were liking because they where barging about their grades. i always wanted to know why and how the Chinese got these straight A's and the thing about that is they would say i never studied for this. so i thought that the teachers would cheat for them because they where Chinese. so to hear about something like this is very sad but hey if your getting good grades then theirs nothing really you can complain about. Right?

For me i don't agree with this because in my family we for sure don't think like that and we do not have this structured life like the way these Chinese  mothers described it. it is really kind of boring and can be very streesful on the kids because i think no one wants to learn that way. i feel like kids want to try something new because thats how they learn. yeah they might learn by what their parents say beut really who wants to learn like that if they have the chance to learn in a more fun way.


Over all after reading this i kind of thought it was both funny and a waste of my time. why would any one say something like this because to me i do not thing it is kind of useful to stress out your kids over school work. yeah school work is important but so is having a life. so yeah that my take on this article.
 

quick write about A.F and Egypt

       After reading the book animal farm by George Orwell and hearing about the events in Tunisia and Egypt some of the connections these two make are more well seen in some cases such as the want change. in the book the animal farm the animals take over the farm and throw out their leader which is the human. this is the same for what is going on in Egypt they are throwing out there old unused full government and they already threw out their leader. the leaders of these two have been where there at for a long long time and the people want a change they want something new. they want the real happiness.

       something else that is common between both animal farm and what is taking place in Egypt is the fact that they really want to get rid of the leaders. they both would do just about anything and every thing to say that got rid of this person. there are some examples of this happing already such as people sleeping in between the tracks of tanks just knowing that if these tanks move a few feet there bones would turn into red color pancakes. yet they are OK will knowing the fact how close they are to death. they just want change in this world and would risk there lives to get it. they know its all for the better of the goverment the country and most importanly the people.

      these people where tired just like in the book the animal farm because the choices there governments and or leaders are making was more for the benift of them and less of the people. which might i say make up a country.

animal farm essay

Conrads! Worst has come to worst! The humans have started a campaign that is to invade us any moment. They never were our friends. They just tried to trick us so they could take control over our precious windmill! So let us stand up strong so that we once again can defeat those traitors.”
It was by the end of breakfast the invasion started. After reading the Art of War, napoleon developed some new tactics that could help him win. He and the other pigs set up the animal into companies and squads based on their race and abilities. They had a feeling that all will go by easily.
          The humans finally came in sight, but this time they came with a much greater speed. They were unexpectedly riding on horses. Fear began to tremble the animals, but the pigs just stood there.
“Sheep, forward march!” shouted napoleon with great anger.
“2 legs bahad, 4 legs good”
But the sheep did no good. Once they came in contact with the humans on horses, they got ignored as if they were stones. “2 legs bahad, 4 legs good”
“Ducks, take off!” shouted napoleon as they became airborne.
They dropped eggs from above but little was achieved from that. The humans just wiped it off. Now the riders where very close. Napoleon on board a horse (as were the other pigs) gave order to open fire. One human down. Now the tides were turning. Victory was now shining on the animal’s side while the humans were being crushed. With no doubt were they to win. Then, unexpectedly, napoleon fired at a rider’s horse. Clover approached the shot horse and recognized the face. It was Mollie.
“Napoleon! How could you of shot one of our old friends?”
“She is not our friend! She is fighting against us! Comrade, this is no time to ask such silly questions! The horses are to be killed too!”
When clover heard this, he was furious. “I shall not betray my own race! Everyone save yourselves! We cannot defeat these humans! And why should we betray our former friend! I say, I cannot obey this nasty napoleon!”
This brought question to the minds of all the animals. They could not believe napoleon shot Mollie! So they stopped attacking. Napoleon no was angered and terrified. No longer were the animals supporting him. So he started to flee. The other pigs then followed him.
“After them!” shouted clover. Everyone, including the farm animals, chased the pigs. They ran and ran, but their old age limited their distance. They approached the pigs and one by one they were killed.
They returned to Mollie’s body. There she lay, breathing unevenly but alive. She was injured, but only in the leg with some broses.

Seven years later, day and night came and the short animal lives escaped. There then came a time when no longer they remember the rebellion. Jessie, pincher, bulebell, Murel and Jones had all died. But Jones had died in a really sad way he was killed on the other side of the country. Also molly was willing to help the other animals and the way that was going to happen was by killing Napoleon. So that’s what happen and once napoleon was gone the plan was to cut the pig up and serve it as bacon and sausage. The plan was to open a mini restaurant where the served bacon all day long. The name of it would be called wernersnzial.  And that would be the end of napoleon.
