answer: compare a myth legend, or classic work of literature of you choice to a modern work that reinterprets it.focus on the similarities in theme between the newer work and the original, and provide examples that illustrate these themes from both works. the modern work may be any novel, movie, play, short story, or other storytelling medium with which you’re familiars long as it is clearly inspired by a myth, legend, or classic work of literature.

short-response prompt  

read the following excerpt from “fish cheeks” by amy tannin which tan recounts a christmas eve dinner.  

i fell in love with the minister’s son the winter i turned fourteen. he was not chinese, but as white as mary in the manger. for christmas i prayed for this blond-haired boy, robert, and a slim new american nose.  

on christmas eve i saw that my mother had outdone herself in creating a strange menu. she was pulling black veins out of the backs of fleshy prawns. the kitchen was littered with appalling mounds of raw food: a slimy rock cod with bulging fish eyes that pleaded not to be thrown into a pan of hot oil. tofu, which looked like stacked wedges of rubbery white sponges. a howl soaking dried fungus back to life. a plate of squid, their backs crisscrossed with knife markings so they resembled bicycle tires.  

after everyone had gone, my mother said to me. “you want to be the same as american girls on the outside.” she handed me an early gift. it was a miniskirt in beige tweed. “but in side you must always be chinese. you must be proud you are different. your only shame is to have shame.”

answer: Hey! It's Jenna :) ur sis haha

You're not alone actually... I've felt the same way as you. Many ppl I know and hardly know have come across and tell me I'm so sweet and kind and everything... that makes me feel good. And the only reason why I'm kind to others is because that's the only thing that makes me happy... knowing I'm making others feel good. I don't know if that person's going through a hard time, what if he is? what if she is?.. Words can have a great effect in someone. (If telling someone they look nice today makes them feel good then try doing that everyday!) And like you mentioned, life CAN be hard, it's never easy to go through stuff alone, you always need a friend, family memeber, relative, bf/gf to be there for you, to support you. It makes things a little bit easier for you to handle.

Hope that helps sis <33
