Reading 2.6 : Compare the experience of being oppressed in Sui sin Far's « In the Land of the Free » with the oppressive experience in Zitkala-Sa's « The school days of an Indian Girl » or Dunbar's « the Ingrate »
With the text « In the land of the free » ans « the ingrate » the two characters, Josh and Lae Chao, was oppresed. Both live in USA at different period but was subjet of oppressed but they was different. Her skin, her lifestyle everything was different but cause this oppression, the two characters lost something very important for him. First, we have Josh who are an African during slavery. He want freedom like many other but cause the oppression, denied their wish. In Second time, we have Lae Choo, a chinese woman who came in USA. She want a new live with her husband and her newborn but cause the immagration law, she denied the right to her Child and become very depressed
And with the text « The school days of an Indian Girl by Zitkala-Sa and the « the Ingrate » We saw that the both character was forced to change their life. For example, Zitkala-Sa was humiliated, forces and she want a kind of freedom because she was very angry and Josh is a slave, he was forced to become a slave, to slave like slave, and we know slave are horrible.
Reading 2 ,2. What do you learn abut chinese culture in part 2 of the story ? What might be the autor's purpose in providing these details ?
In the part 2, we learn about tradition and chinese lifestyle. For example she describe the street maybe in Chinatown « gay colored lanterns ans the soung of music. », « « The completion of the moon » by Quong sum's firstborn » But with one dish too. « The rice was steaming in the bowls and a fragrant dish of chickens andm bamboo shoots was axaiting Hom Hind ». I think this scene was very important.Lae Choo was so happy, to see her son again since the immigration, that she prepared some specifique China's food.
