Im reading short essay by Maxine Hong Kingston, an asian immigrant I believe, who writes about her struggle with her native tongue and culture while speaking in school and in general living in america (ahe felt as if she stuck out). Was there anything that happened in the 1960's or 1970's (since it was published in the 70's) that concerned Americans an Asians that may have fueled her to write this?

I'm writing a paper about suicide and how it connects to women's lives in history. This is from a feminist perspective and is for a Women's Lit. class. My thesis is basically that that these women liberate themselves from a life with no choices through suicide. I have a few examples already but I'm just burning out on them I need a fresh perspective. Here are the women I have already, can you think of any more? Virginia Woolf Maxine Hong Kingston's No Name Woman Ophelia from Hamlet Thelma and Louise Edna from Kate Chopin's the Awakening

I need to do a project. I have a bunch of authors to work with, but I'm not sure which one is right for me. There is a huge list, sorry, but if you see one that I may like, please let me know. I like horror, comedy, and modern books (modern, meaning the setting is in the present...) I hate mystery books, and books that have anything to do with the past, like, historical books. I love plot twists, and twisted endings, if that helps...

I'm curious to see someone else's interpretation of it. It is from the book "The Woman Warrior" by Maxine Hong Kingston Whenever she had to warn us about life, my mother told stories that ran like this one, a story to grow up on. She tested our strength to establish realities. Those in emigrant generations who could not reassert brute survival died young and far from home. Those of us in the first American generations have had to figure out how the invisible world the emigrants built around our childhoods fits in sold America. The emigrants confused the gods by diverting their curses, misleading them with crooked streets and false names. They must try to confuse their offspring as well, who, I suppose, threaten them in similar ways—always trying to get things straight, always trying to name the unspeakable. The Chinese I know hide their names; sojourners take new names when their lives change and guard their real names with silence. Chinese-Americans, when you try to understand what things in you are Chinese, how do you separate what is peculiar to childhood, to poverty, insanities, on family, your mother who marked your growing stories, from what is Chinese? What is Chinese tradition and what is the movies?

I'm an Asian girl involved in high school speech activities. Are there humorous/serious interpretations designed specifically for Asian women? There seems to be a lot written specifically for white, African American, and even Jewish women, but I have only found only one work, "No Name Woman" by Maxine Hong Kingston, to be for Asian women.

I have to read a book within two days so I was wondering if anyone knew which book, from the list I will provide, will be easiest and fastest to read. Thank you all very much and I greatly appreciate it! God Bless! Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Infidel Russell Baker, Growing Up William F.

This is the school I'm going to, and I'm going to have to do this work next year. Does this seem hard to you? Because it seems unreasonably ridiculous to me. English 3 Honors Summer Reading 2008 Sprague/Evans Your summer work is intended to bridge your work from English 2 Honors and prepare you for the first month of English 3 Honors—the first four weeks of the English 3 Honors curriculum is based on the novels that you will read in the summer. Therefore, the summer reading is not just one assignment among many in the class; it is essential to your success in the course’s first quarter. You will be responsible for reading four novels. Tim O’Brien’s The Things They Carried: For this novel, you will write a one- to two-page essay, comparing O’Brien’s novel about the Vietnam War, The Things They Carried, with Remarque’s novel about World War I, All Quiet on the Western Front. Of course, there will be many comparisons that can be made: we want you to focus on one idea, one theme (the flexibility of truth in war or the psychological effects of war are examples), showing how each novel treats such a theme. Use this reading strategy to prepare you for this essay: as you read The Things They Carried, you will notice similarities to All Quiet on the Western Front; when you do, put a post-it note on that page (or write in the margin if you own the book). When you finish the book, look back at the marked pages until you find a pattern; from that pattern, create a thesis statement that illuminates your theme. The quotes that will support this thesis statement will come from your marked pages. If you did not read All Quiet on the Western Front in English 2 or English 2 Honors, you will need to read this text as well. Toni Morrison’s Beloved: Morrison’s Beloved is a contemporary novel that chronicles ex-slaves’ attempts to rebuild their lives while beating back their memories of slavery. The novel is structured like memory itself: it is fragmented, without transitions, recursive, cryptic. In other words, unlike Huck Finn, the story does not move in a linear fashion, but attempts to replicate the traumatized memories of slaves. Therefore, you may struggle with this text. While reading, we’d like you to take notes: write down questions that you have, and then attempt to answer them; write down troubling passages and attempt to interpret them; write down a summary of each section; look for patterns—repeated images, phrases and incidents and record them. We will collect these notes on the second day of school; in February, we will reread the novel as a class. These notes will serve as a foundation for our study of the novel. Therefore, we do not expect you to have a total grasp of the novel on a first reading. Creating notes will help you to work through this difficult text. For the next two texts, you will not be turning in written work. However, you will be responsible for having read (and retained) the essence of these books in order to perform various tasks with these novels during the first four weeks of school: activities can include timed writings, presentations, Socratic Seminars (open, student-led discussions), one-page interpretations and group tasks (group tasks will require each individual to bring something to the table; one cannot rely on one group member who has read). Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn: Huck Finn and escaped slave Jim travel on the Mississippi River—trace the classic elements of the hero’s journey in this piece. It is both a physical journey on a river, but also an emotional journey for Huck: he learns what is wrong with the world and what is right for him. Maxine Hong Kingston’s The Woman Warrior: Kingston’s collection of four stories explores her identity as a Chinese American woman: what in her is Chinese? What is American? Her identity draws on both cultures, like in “White Tigers”, for example, when she takes the Chinese folktale of Mulan and attempts to translate the story to an American environment. English 3 Honors intends to help you to become an independent reader, writer and thinker: though we offer you several tools that can assist you in your work, you must decide what helps you to access meaning within any given text. Employ one or more of the tools below in accessing the texts of Huck Finn and The Woman Warrior: •Underline/highlight important passages and write interpretations, inferences or questions in the margins. If you don’t own the book, use post-it notes. •Create a dialectical journal: write down significant quotes and then respond to them in writing. •Write a reaction, interpretation or summary of each chapter/story. •Take notes on important events in each chapter; record questions that you have in each chapter; trace a character’s development throughout the story. •Gather with a group from the class and have a discussion. •Compare the text to something else you’ve read, seen
