To make her point clear she uses a lot of pathos and a lot of examples from experiences with herself and her two daughters, Louisa and Sofia. At the beginning when she tells the stories about her daughters trying to fight back you think ’what a terrible mother’, but she uses this feeling to support the view the readers have on the Chinese mothers as being mean to their kids so that afterwards she can tell how it turned out good and therefor the way she raises her kids is the best. Amy Chua has a high ethos because she is a professor at Yale which is a very respected job, and as a parent it makes her more reliable because she tells the reader that her parents treated her the same way that she treats her daughters, and as we can see she has been very successful. Also she uses loghos: ”In one study of 50 Western American mothers and 48 Chinese immigrant mothers, almost 70 % of the Western mothers said either that ”stressing academic success is not good for children” or that ”parents need to foster the idea that learning is fun”. By contrast,

She is able to understand the reason that why the students making a protest because she also a student.
But if Pattyn pulled up a gun to her father’s face her would tell her he loves her but do you really think he is telling her the truth? I would have to say that “Burned” is one of the best books I have read so far. This book can relate to a lot of teenage girls right now. It explains how Pattyn is a nobody in school and she wants to find love because she is tired of being lonely. But eventually when she is sent to her aunt J’s house she found
Part 1 At one point in high school my grades were below par which didn’t really make my parents happy. They decided to enroll me into a tuition center where may other kids take tuitions during the school holiday. One week in, I didn’t have a single friend, probably because I’ve always been a really shy person. I sat outside reading before my morning class. I looked up and noticed this girl was moving towards me, she engaged into conversation with me and then told me she thought I was real good looking and that definitely was an ego booster, she then suddenly left and I never saw her again because that was my last summer school class.
The plot, the characters, the relationships - all show women in a positive light. The only women who are really portrayed as evil or corrupt are left back in China or ignored. The mother figures are shown as caring albeit misunderstood leaders who channel their inner strength in times of need. Almost all of the mothers had previous marriages and escaped them. Their daughters find their inner strength and overcome their own obstacles as well, with nothing but themselves and their mother’s anecdotes to get them through it all.
It was her mistake, so she is going to take on her responsibility, and be a great parent for her unborn child. She said, “If it was my choice i would have got pregnant after college” (Duval). Luckily, her boyfriend, her family and friends were unexpectedly supportive of this major change in Harley’s life. Everyone preached to Harley about how tough it would be with having a baby, she didn’t think anything of it. The only worry in their minds was Harley and her junior year of high school; hoping and expecting she would finish

She texted Myles, a week before, she left for a holiday. “Can we meet up? Reply soon. I love you” As soon as her phone vibrated, she grabbed it read the text “Sure.” And cried. She loved him so much and yet she felt like he didn't love her at all, not even a smidge.
They might even call her “Superwoman”, but that is just a television show, and not reality. In reality we try to be and do everything; we show off, then we get stressed, sick, and eventually our body can’t take the abuse and we collapse like a ton of bricks. Everything is affected when we become stressed; including our self-concept and our self-esteem. As woman we feel we have to take care of everyone and then complain when we can’t do it anymore. I believe taking care of people we love is part of a woman’s self-esteem and self-concept, and when we can’t keep up with everything we feel less than
In China its not all about finding the “perfect” match, but more about finding someone you are compatible with and can be with over the long term. Some Chinese stay married for their entire lives and never truly are in love. Most Chinese couples do not have sexual relations until they are married.
