Red Azalea was published in 1994. Something that affects the book historically is that the China Cultural Revolution was mentioned in the book, because she had to go through the hardships of living during that period of time. 4.) Since this is a memoir of Anchee Min’s life growing up in China during the Cultural Revolution, I don’t think there’s much bias in the book, because she lived through it. It reminds me of Diary of Anne Frank.
The stories focus on the relationships between four, Chinese mothers who migrate to the United States and their Chinese-American daughters. The daughters find it to be a struggle to try to hold on to their traditional Chinese roots that their parents are trying to preserve, as they seek to fit into the over-bearing American culture. The stories explore issues of tradition, immigration, ethnicity, language, and identity. The Joy Luck Club displays the cultural divide that exists between Chinese immigrants and Chinese Americans born and raised in the United States. Even though it is within the same culture, the film shows how Chinese immigrants are forced to “adjust” and give up much of their identity in order to thrive in America.
If operational definitions (or scoring procedures) are specified, do they clearly indicate the rules of measurement? Do the rules seem sensible? Were data collected in such a way that measurement errors were minimized? (1 point) Yes they do they show that they use The Japanese version of the 23-item NAQ-R was used. One author and two other nurses with at least 3 years of hospital work experience in Japan and master’s degrees in nursing from U.S. universities independently used an extensive process of back-translation to create the Japanese version from the 22-item English-language version of the NAQ.
Daughter of Han If you were born in China before the twentieth century you would know Confucian gender values and ideology. The upper-class e women were taught through studying the Confucian texts and they knew what was required to move up in class. The lower class was most women did not know how to find loupe holes in Confucian values, so they followed the rules very strictly. It was a lot easier for men to follow the gender rules. It was harder for women because lower class women had to leave the inner quarters because they need to feed there family’s.

This is the first time that Kingston explicitly tells which additions to the story are her own. Not only is she referencing the story at hand, but she is also alluding to her life. While her mother very much colored her childhood, Kingston will be dictating the direction of the rest of her life. Kingston tells the story of Ts’ai Yen, a poetess captured and made to live with barbarians. Towards the end of the tale, Kingston tells of a song Ts’ai Yen sings: “Her words seemed to be Chinese, but the barbarians understood their sadness and anger…her children did not laugh, but eventually sang along” (209).
Yung asks herself “What sociohistorical forces were at play that can explain social change for Chinese American women in the first half of the twentieth century?” (Yung, 5) The book tells of their oppression in America through prostitution, gender roles, anti-Chinese immigration laws, and class discrimination. Also, she examines the rise of Christianity, the YWCA, The New Life Association, Chinese women’s role in the war, and support within Chinese communities in America. Yung states “the groundwork laid by our foremothers for a better life at home, in the workplace and in the larger society has not been lost on today’s generation of Chinese American women (Yung, 292). The title “Unbound Feet” is a perfect representation of Yung’s research on immigration and settling in The States. It represents the bound feet that Chinese women of high class had when arriving in America, to “ensure that women did not ‘wander’ too far outside the household gate” (Yung, 19).
The novel Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress by Dai Sijie, although a fictional story, does help the reader gain an insight as to how the situation was in China during the Cultural Revolution. One common event in the Cultural Revolution would take place to “re-educate” certain “intellectuals”. Those who were children of Enemies of the State and those who had had a basic education before Mao Tse Tsung’s China, who were usually in their teenage years, were forced to leave their homes to go to the countryside, “forget” everything that they had learned up to that moment, and gain a new education, hence the term “re-education”. In some ways, this re-education was in some ways contra productive, or actually doing the opposite of what it was supposed to do, as is shown in Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress when both Ma, the main character, and Luo, his best friend, end up gaining access to some prohibited books. Due to re-education, Ma and Luo were able to gain a deeper insight into literature, learn more about their personalities and strengths, and were able to understand the hard work that the countryside supposed.
Whereas education during Jefferson’s era was, voluntary and he believed in teaching everyone the basics. Additionally, Jefferson believed that students in the elementary schools should read enough history “by appraising them of the past, will enable them to judge the future; it will avail them of the experience of other times and other nations; it will qualify them as judges of the actions and designs of men…”(S&S pg. 40). Whereas in today’s practice, elementary students receive about forty-five minutes of history a month until they enter 5th or 6th grade. In chapter three, the Quality of Teachers according to Horace Mann “the education and the quality of the state’s teachers was the inadequate preparation most teachers had received” (S&S pg.
