Page 1 Expansion of the truth: Donald Duck and his journey to discover his heritage Frank Chin’s character, Donald Duk is a racially pessimistic Chinese-American that is ashamed of his culture and everything he assumes it stands for. Through surrealistic tactics, Donald Duk tries to justify his anti Chinese- American views and shy away from learning anything about his culture and the way they helped shape America. Donald however, with the help of his curious American friend Arnold does take a journey of discovery about his culture. Frank Chins didactic style of writing referencing characters from different ethnic backgrounds serves to educate Donald as well as others about the Chinese people’s role in the growth of the American society as it relates to Donald in his present day self induced dilemma. This gives Donald an avenue to travel along which eventually leads to him being proud of and openly acknowledging his pride for his heritage, family and community.
He was very perverted and would kiss Sara, her cousin, Michelle and I on the neck and he even licked Michelle’s ear. We did take a few pictures with him, and in all of them he would not stop grabbing my butt. I asked him a few questions, such as does he always dress this way? He told me no, he only does this as a hobby on the weekends, and that’s why he was alone because none of his friends like to be with him when he is dressed that way. He seemed a bit erratic to me, like he could have been on cocaine, because his speech was fast and he always seemed on the go.

Although Gene almost falls off, Finney catches him and saves Gene’s life, but he “practically lost it” too (Knowles 33). Similarly, Neil is the one to show Mr. Keating his old yearbook since everyone else wouldn’t do it. Because Neil showed him it, they found out about the Dead Poets’ Society, which leads Mr. Keating to lose his job. Since Finney and Neil are so sure what they want to do, it is impossible for them to comprehend what other people want as well. For example, Finney is so confident in himself, that he wears a pink shirt that makes him “look like a fairy,” and he talks boldly about
The only reason they voted for Ralph was because he had the conch. This shows how important the conch was to all the kids at first, but as the boys became more and more savage the conch started to be worthless to them, along with civilization and order. The conch was originally a powerful symbol of civilization and leadership, but the boys stopped caring about it, so they stopped caring about the last bit of civilization they still had. There was still a small sense of civilization left in all the children that kept that kept them from becoming total savages. But that was lost when Roger killed Piggy and destroyed the conch.
I can relate to Scout in this manner, because I I too am protective over my family, but not as aggressive as Scout. Atticus is called a disgrace and "nigger-lover" a number of times by a number of people. One day in the schoolyard, Cecil Jacobs tells Scout that his family says Atticus is a disgrace and that Tom Robinson should hang from the water-tank (pg 102). This got Scout upset, but it was the only time she walked away form a fight because influenced by Atticus, he told her not to fight anymore and she knew if she did he would wear her out. On Christmas day Scout, Jem, and Atticus visit the Finch's Landing.
Bullying is shown all through out ‘Lord of the Flies.’ The most shown is Jack picking on Piggy. For instance piggy isn’t even his name. In fact, Piggy was the one thing he didn’t want to be called. “I don’t care what they call me,’ he said confidently, ‘so long as they don’t call me what they us to call me at school.” “They use to call me piggy,’ Ralph shrieked with laughter.” I know bullying is wrong, and I’m sure those boys knew, but still cruel as could be those boys were. Bullying is simply just talking rudely to or about someone right in front of them, and telling someone there fat is wrong.
Breakfast is served… In the movie “The Breakfast Club”, I think that John Bender and Andrew Clark are most like me. I think that Allison Reynolds is not like me at all. John Bender kind of matches my personality because he is rebellious and I sort of am as well. He also is very annoying and a lot of people tell me I am annoying too. John Bender likes to make trouble and havoc in the school when he is in detention and somedays I just try to make trouble for no reason.
Discrimination and isolation Alice accused other Australians of thinking that Chinese people are naturally dexterous. She asserted that dexterity was a result of children helping their parents in their outwork, as the older people’s sight failed. She saw this as stereotyping of Chinese people. Yet she had her own stereotypes of Anglo-Australian children gluing icy pole sticks to paper plates. These stereotypes result from lack of information on both sides, and can result in prejudice and discrimination.
Even though in Haroon’s school, math homework and the calculator symbolize the group of Chinese students, which is not true, because not all Chinese kids are good in math. It is also racist to say that Chinese adults are bad drivers because not all of them are. Second example to prove that there are racist symbols in the book is that a Chinese kid and his parents ate a rabbit for dinner, and that is when the rabbit began to symbolize Chinese parents: “Anyways, this little Asian kid takes home the rabbit. Christmas holidays end and the kid bring back a thank-you note from his parents tanking the teacher for their Christmas meal!’” (Ellis 95). This symbol is racist for the reason that in the book every time a white kid sees a rabbit, they scream to Chinese kids, hey look
