Chapter 13
1.
Describe Marci’s relationship
with her parents.
Marci was in a rich family, and her father wants her to learn chemistry.
However Marci likes classic. They don’t have a good relationship that they
always argue and they don’t really care about what each other think.
2.
What advice does Marci give
Sookan in dealing with her sister?
Marci thinks Sookan should
think for herself instead of listen to her sister blindly. She should have her
own life.
3.
Do you think Sookan will follow Marci’s
advice?
Yes, I think she would follow her and not just listen to her sister.
Chapter 14
1.
What does Sister Reed give to
Sookan and why?
She gives Sookan a velvet
box, with a string of cream-colored pearls with a platinum and diamond clasp.
It’s because she’s looking forward Sookan to wear it and she’s proud of Sookan.
2.
What important event happens to
Ellen in this chapter?
It’s her wedding
engagement.
3.
How do her parents react?
They asked her to cancel
the engagement and come back home to talk to them soon.
4.
Sookan stands up to Ellen in
this chapter and defends her parents. DO you agree or disagree with Sookan’s
position? Why?
I agree to Sookan’s
position. Ellen’s parents are totally different from Marci’s. They are kind and
they would listen to what their child wants to do. They are actually great
parents. Ellen’s selfish by not thinking about her parents’ position. I think
it’s right to tell her parents the truth and that’s the best way to solve the
argument and Ellen would still have good relationship with her parents.
Chapter 15
1.
Explain why Sookan has
conflicting emotions (positive and negative) regarding the experiences she has
in this chapter.
It’s because she joined
dancing with Kyle’s roommate Tom. It never happened before since she has been
to America. She’s thinking about if she’s right by against her sister and
dance, drink and kind of leave all her works.
2.
What would you have done if you
were in her position?
My opinions are always
changing that I would listen to my family and remain good relationships.
However, I would still do what I want to. It’s great to have a colorful college
life and there were only one college life. I’m not a great person; I would think
if what I do is right. However I would still follow my heart to do the great
things in my mind.
Chapter 16
1.
As Sookan reflects on her
freshman year pf college, what do you think she has accomplished?
She’s being much outgoing; she has done a great job on her courses; she
improved a lot on her English.
2.
How has she changed?
The ways she think changed
and she’s a lot influenced by the American culture.
Chapter 17
1.
Father Leegives Sookan some sad
news – what is it?
Her mother died.
2.
How does Sookan react?
She fell asleep, and she was
so upset about why she hasn’t be with her mother and has gone to America.
Chapter 18
1.
At the end of the book, Sookan
looks back at her experience as a whole. What does she realize?
She would realize that she
changes a lot in her experience in America. Her thinking always changes that
she starts to think for her self; she understands to think for her self; she’s
being more outgoing; and she learns to do things to gain a better life.
2.
If you could give some advice
to Sookan at this point in her life, what would it be?
I would say it’s easy for
young people to get confused about life. She would lastly find her interests,
her way to live. There’s no right or wrong that she leaves her family and go to
a new condition. That’s just a decision and life is just combined by many
decisions. I think what she should do is just to confirm her decision and make
sure she does that.
