Hello 6th Grade!
This week we read a story about a Chinese family trying to fit in with American culture. What were some of the challenges each of the family members faced as they tried to blend in with American life? Please give some specific examples from the story.
Have a wonderful weekend!
The challenges they had to face where that they tryed eating celery that wasnt cooked, dressing up like americans and when it was a buffet dinner they got chairs and sat around the table
ReplyDeletethey tried eating raw foods like vegetables one example was celery and they sat around the table which was supposed be a buffet
ReplyDeleteThe parents didn't speak good English. they never a raw salary. Slurped every time they drank tea. And they did not realize that the party that they went to was a buffet dinner and they brought chairs to the buffet table.
ReplyDeleteIn this story the family had to eat raw vegetables instead of cooked ones and they didn't know what a buffet dinner was so they brought chairs to the table.
ReplyDeletein this story the family had to face different things. they couldn't eat the celery because they usually cook the vegetables. They were not used to buffets and they wore different clothes.
ReplyDeleteThe chinese family was invited to their neighbors house (American). they ate celery raw which was new to them because they would usually cook it. Also they ate like a buffet instead of eating on a table which was odd to them cause they had to eat standing up
ReplyDeleteWhen the chinese family was invited to their american neighbor's house, they did not eat at a table like the chinese would usually do , they had a buffet and had to eat away from the table. Another thing that was odd to the chinese family was eating the celery raw, and not cooked. it was odd to them because they usually cook it.
ReplyDeleteI think the hardest challenge was the new food and way to eat it because because They thought the way to eat was to eat on chairs at a table so they got chairs and sat without knowing it is a buffet
ReplyDeleteSome problems that they faced were that they weren't used to American customs like eating there vegetables raw or eating dairy of dressing in jeans like everybody else or eating where ever you want during buffet dinners or not eating celery string by string or eating one thing at a time.
ReplyDeleteThey were not used to the different American cultural traditions for example they did not wear jeans instead they wore skirts to the knee. They also were not used to crunching celery. :P
ReplyDeleteI think that some problems that the Lins faced were to eat like the Americans during the buffet, and that they faced the problem of not understanding how to fit in during the buffet. The narrator faced a problem of clothing because she used to wear skirts with navy blue shirts, but then because of Meg Gleason, her friend she started to fit in with the others
ReplyDeleteI think the problems that the lins face were that they were not used to eating the celery not cooked. They were not used to dong a buffet dinner so for the first couple of days they had trouble getting used to the American way.
ReplyDeleteThey slurped soup, peeled raw vegetables, and they did not get the meaning of a buffet.
ReplyDeleteI think the biggest problem they faced was getting used to American food and customs because when they saw the food on the table at the gleasons they got chairs and sat crown without knowing it was a buffet because they never heard of it
ReplyDeleteWell cuting the strings off the celery was kind've odd and sitting on the buffet table was a bit disturbing, and they thought that no American slurps soup. Oh and one more thing, her clothing she used to wear skirts in navy blue, but she wanted to fit in so she convinced her Mother to buy her new pants.
