After I read this story, I went over some parts that I liked and I made some connections with the main character in this story, Waverly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I read that sometimes she didn’t get along very well with her mother which I totally understand and how she is struggling to tell her mom that she wants to take part of the american culture too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I can relate to this part because according to Chinese culture, a lot of the holidays include eating dumplings<\/strong>. (Which I totally dislike.) and I want to try eating something different, like something normal people here<\/span> would eat on a special occasion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Also when I read from different parts that I enjoyed, I noticed that Waverly mostly has to listen to her mother or else her mother is going to get really mad, unlike the americans who usually have a free will.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I can still relate to this because my mom is just like that, thinking that whatever she does is beneficial to my future and makes a big deal about what I want to do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Finally, I feel like how Waverly is somewhat similar to me because we both want and long for our right to make decisions about our life and how we<\/strong> want it to be.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After I read this story, I went over some parts that I liked and I made some connections with the main character in this story, Waverly.
