The Girl Who Wouldn't Talk

I think this is a very interesting story, it is written by Maxine Hong Kingston. From the story you can tell that the narrator doesn’t like the silent girl at all, but she realized that they have many common points. She doesn’t want to be like the silent girl; instead she wants to be more like her American classmates. She thinks that Americans are stronger and more outstanding and she wants to be a part of them. By this you can tell that she didn’t really like her Chinese background. From the story you can see the difference between a Chinese family’s background and an American family’s background. To me, I think that no matter what culture you are from just be yourself and socialize more.
