Read any story that we haven't read yet and write a review of the story and explain why it matters. Why should anyone care about the story/read it?
The story I chose to review is called Chinese Lessons by Ivy Tseng
The author shows that she is describing how she dreads Chinese Lessons everyday with her father, but the main part of this story is that the author just wants to understand her Father.
What shows a lot of remorse is that the author's Father is a migrant from Taiwan and moved to Australia, he also does not speak English and so he would feel very lonely and left out, the father started the lessons with his children is because he wants to make sure that this language can continue in this country as it said in the book on why the the father wants to do the lessons "They were a way of ensuring he would still be able to connect to his past." This shows that Asians can have hardships in moving to a place that does not speak the same language.
The main importance of the story is that it shows how people would want to still learn their native ways especially if it is in another country, it is what of the advantages that different people carry with them. The result that is left with the reader is that the reader would wonder how a different language can get on with real life.
