Twin Castle

Finally I read longest story so far in this first semester. ☺ Amy Tan wrote Rules of the Game as her autobiography. I knew it is Chinese story because author’s last name. It is very common last name. I had a feeling that she has a success in somewhere that she proved the American wrong. I knew Chinese was struggled and rare Chinese got success.
Her Tone was wave of the mood as disappoint, sad, happy, and thrilled. It is hard to tell which she is on mood during she write on the story. She wrote it as machine as time to time to write down the story.
I understood she lived in famous China town in San Francisco. Seem she grew up in middle class that her family could afford the three of full 5 courses a day but she ate weird food that she said “it is unnamed food” and not want to ask her mom to make her freak out. maybe it is shark soup as I heard it China do eat it. I remember I have huge 5 course of the meal at cruise last August. I was going to Alaska with extreme delicious five courses every dinner. I missed it their food.
I popped my mind. Is it happening before Vintemn war to make America put Chinese prison camp? I found it Wikipedia that it is happen after Chinese and Japan prison camps. It allowed Japanese and Chinese leave the camps at 1945. Good thing they are still survivor through the camp.
Narrator tells the story was very detail. She describes everything in her hometown. She remembers during her childhood. Her purpose was telling everyone that her hometown was different and unique. Today and past was different. She don’t allow people forget the past look like and write in the book. It won’t fade the memory in the future. I felt she is very well memorized child
I don’t know why her name is different from modern name. her offical name was Waverly Place Jong but her mom called her after the street for American document. I am she wont use meimei during she grew up. Meimei is supporting for young sister. Maybe she married someone to change her last name to Tan.
The word catch me “Chinese Torture” I guess it mean Keep working. They don’t care about fun because they deserved to live the better country than their home country China. They took it prize to work. Remember China and Japan have higher education and knew English than 95% of America. It is fact that I saw it on somewhere on Youtube in past. I wish the title of the video.
I discovered she don’t believe in Santa Claus because she knew enough to seprate the race as white between Chinese. Children barely realized which one apart the color. They only look at personality and shape. One of my teacher told me a story. Her daughter explained to his dad that she want to invite her friend for her birthday. Her describe was telling about shape and personality, not color. I wish all people think this way not race. It is my major dream for our world to change it. It could cause peace in the world. Children are beautiful.
I hate the end of the story because it don’t finish about her competition and her family. She just go her room and look out of the window. What next?! I guess she stopped to play the chess because her mother changed by narrator. She was becoming ego, too much pride, and honor her daughter as queen not in her sons. She don’t care about her Chinese culture after her daughter won the games in chess.

I felt to want to type more info about the story but it already too much info in this blog. good night
