The Fortune Cookie Chronicles

95 Words1 Page

I enjoyed the book The Fortune Cookie Chronicles. The reason it was enjoyable was because it gave me insight as to the cuisine eaten in the US, China, and many other countries. It also enlightened me on the immigration of Chinese people from their homeland to the US, and the challenges one must overcome to do so. Nonetheless, the book could have been better written or more informative by gaining more qualitative data from different sources to support the statements being made. Specific qualitative data such as interesting stories of hardships would engage the reader.

    Personal Response: I thought this was a good book and it got right to the point. I liked how the author made Lucas 's family a part of the fire department.

    At a time when basic religious beliefs and traditions were being questioned by academia, author Shirley Jackson penned a poignant attack against those who blindly accepted values and traditions in her short story, “The Lottery.” The Lottery is presented as an event that has always occurred throughout the region's history without any opposition. Nonchalantly, the entire village commits homicide at the finale. Finally, aspects of the traditional lottery evolved without notice or were forgotten by the villagers.

    1284 Words  | 6 Pages

    I also think this book would not be suited for someone that hasn’t read a lot of historical books mainly since as a reader you have to the information sorted in your head as you read. Spence was also coming from a Western perspective and while I think he was able to articulate his main points and the information without sounding too biased in his writing there will always be in some form. I would recommend this book if someone would like to further their knowledge of the Chinese Taiping Rebellion and has an existing knowledge of Chinese

    The short stories, “Fortune Cookie” by Avi and “Raymond's Run” by Toni Cade Bambara, are about two disrespectful kids named Parker and Squeaky that act nasty to others. They don't understand that in life, they have to appreciate others point of view. The ways that this is true is in the way the characters don't understand how others feel, in the way the characters are disrespectful to others, and in the way the characters only think about their feelings. The first way that the stories suggest that in life, you should appreciate others point of view is in the way the characters don't understand how others feel ¨“Hey, you never said anything about money,” I said.
