Chinese Cinderella
Adeline Yen Mah


5.Comments:

1. The next day, Wu Chun-Mei asked her why didn't she come back to the party like she promised. Adeline is feeling shame and couldn't tell her what had happen......I feel really pity for her because she can't even tell her friends the harsh treatment at home.
2. No sooner, their school was having a class president election and together Wu Chun-Mei was helping Adeline winning the elction for her.
3. Adeline won the election and was super shocked when Wu Chun-Mei and her friends showed up at her house unexpectedly to suprise her. That's when things goes terribly wrong, Niang found out and slapped her a few times. And as Adeline told her friends to leave as she is crying. Wu Chun-Mei figured it out.....I'm actually really glad Wu Chun-Mei found out because then she would know why Adeline is just so quiet and different from eveyone else.
4. After Adeline's father and Niang ordered maybe she should leave and go to a orphanage or to just send her away. Adeline in tears and fearing the seperation of Autn Baba and her. They said it was all Aunt Baba's fault to influence her in such bad ways.
5. After the next day at school, she was still considered as the persident, she felt happiness in her and in way she wished she would always stay in school. But when she got home, her clothes was packed and immeditely she found out she going back to Tianjin with Niang and her father.


4.Questions:

1.Why couldn't they understand that it was Aunt Baba's fault? Is it like their culture to not trust the girls instead of boys? Why didn't Ye Ye do anything to stop this?
2. Why are they going back to Tianjin? Why not someplace else? and Who is going with them?
3. What will happen to Adeline? Will she really have to leave the house?
4. What will happen to the rest of the family? Like aunt Baba and Ye Ye?


3. Vocabulary:

1.brusquely: abrupt in manner; blunt; rough
2.rummaged: to search thoroughly or actively through (a place, receptacle, etc.), esp. by moving around, turning over, or looking through contents.
3.nonchalance : the state or quality of being nonchalant; cool indifference or lack of concern; casualness.


2. Literary Terms:

1.Expostion: When Adeline's friends appeared out of nowhere in front of her house. The starting of the climax where she gets in trouble.
2.Hyperbole: When Niang said that Adeline was "NOTHING! NOTHING! NOTHING!" ( I catch up that Niang always uses these hyperboles agaisnt Adeline.)


1. OverView:
SO this section of the memoir, is that Adeline was running for President in school and apperently she won. Her friends sneaked up at her doorsteps and suprise her. This was an outrage to Niang! She was very mad and she convinced Adeline's father to her side. She persuade him that Aunt Baba is teh bad influence to Adeline. In the end she was beaten and to go tell ehr friends to leave. Her friends saw her in pain yet they know Adeline is still one of their best friends. The next day Adeline finds out Niang and father decied that they move back to Tianjin. Adeline was so frustrated about having to say goodbye to her Aunt Baba.... (to be continue =)
