American Born Chinese
7:50 PM
In today’s world, a lot of people are unable to accept who they really are. They imprison themselves with self-dissatisfactions. Therefore, people try to change the way they look. They start to get their eyelids lifted, their hair changed, or their skin tanned in order to satisfy themselves. The book American Born Chinese, by Gene Luen Yang, encourages its readers to accept their “true form.” Through three different stories of The Monkey King, Jin, and Danny, the book depicts the efforts of fitting into society. Each character in the book is shown with his own distinctive characteristics.
Sometimes, people’s idealization of a beautiful figure is what they create in their heads without realizing that their own figure is just as beautiful.
