- Junot Díaz’s “How to Date a Browngirl, Whitegirl, or Halfie”
This story sounded kind of funny to me when I was reading it. But i came to realize that the whole point of the story was not about just the boy and the girl he was taking out. If we examine carefully some of the aspects the author was pointing out about the ethnicities and some of their behaviors, we will see that the story matches with what is rally happening in the real life. I don't know a lot about dating American girls or something but the story did not stray me from what I have heard about dating a sister, a white or a halfie American girl.
Maxine Hong Kingston’s “No Name Woman”
This whole story is about Chinese tradition. well, I don not have much to say here the story was somewhat interesting maybe for those who care about tradition. It is something that kept people blunt for a long time. But it is good to tell the new generations where we came from so that they can establish the difference between the past and the present moments.
The mother is telling the story to the daughter so that see can be aware of where the family is coming from and what they have overcome. For some reasons, she wants her to keep it secrete, I don't know why... The aunt's story was in my opinion the main point of the story. There might be something important about the aunt's story that the mother would like the daughter to know.
