Analyzing The Short Story 'Fish Cheeks' By Amy Tan
Out of all the short stories that we've read this year, I felt like I connected most to the short story "Fish Cheeks" by Amy Tan. In the story Amy is attentive in trying to impress Robert, the minister's son. Her mother invites their family over for Christmas Eve dinner and since Amy is Chinese, her mother is cooking all of Amy's favorite dishes but, she is mortified that the minister's family is going to find her and her family strange. After reading the story. I understand where she's coming from when she paid too much attention to impressing a guy, that she's not even enjoying herself. I suspect that the author succeeded to project the concept that when you're too busy worry about someone else, you're not going to have a good time, then

Madness is relatively similar, in which the behavior of that person is usually not under control, therefore, seeming like a threat to personal safety or safety of others.

    Compare And Contrast Fish Cheeks And Two Kinds

    Though the two stories “Fish cheeks” and “Two Kinds” have many similarities, their differences play a key role in defining each individual story. Both stories have the same basic setup; they are each told from the point of view of a young Asian-American girl, who are both the daughters of generation Chinese immigrants. This proves to be a source of conflict in the two stories, due to the fact that the cultural and generational differences between both mother-daughter duos. In the story “Fish Cheeks,” the narrator is struggling with her heritage and cultural traditions as she tries to fit into American society and be accepted by her peers, specifically, the minister’s son. She is embarrassed by her mother’s ethnic food choices for dinner and…

    Analysis of Joy Williams' Save the Whales, Screw the Shrimp

    “Save the Whales, Screw the Shrimp” by Joy Williams is an essay directed towards the human race, and how nature is being ruined by it. The human race is a large audience, but she believes that everyone is responsible for the destruction of nature, except herself of course. Williams wrote in such a satirical way, giving herself an advantage, or authority, over the audience. She showed such authority in that she used second person throughout the entire essay, as if demanding her audience to listen to what she had to say- “I don’t want to talk about me, of course, but it seems as though far too much attention has been lavished on you lately…” (Williams 581). By using second person and such strong tone toward the audience, she certainly made an impression. She always regarded nature as to having very great, significant importance to her, as it should, as she capitalized nature as though one would with God. The exigency that Williams addressed is that appreciation for nature has all but nearly diminished to the human race as of today- “…you don’t believe in Nature anymore” (Williams 581), and, according to Williams, if we don’t reverse it then our Earth will become a very dead one- “…making you increasingly aware that you’re a little too late for nature” (Williams 583). This last quote certainly appealed to my personal emotions, and possibly to others readers’ pathos. It made me feel bad that I don’t spend much time outside trying to save the environment, make it better, etc. But what good would it do, right? Because according to Williams, it won’t do any good since we are, after all, too late for nature.…

In the end, Eugene tried to rape her near Lake Pleasant, and when she tried to defend herself, it gave Eugene a reason to turn and kill her instead.

    The Bass, The River, And Sheila Mant

    In the story "The Bass, the Rive and Sheila Mant" by W.D. Wetherall, a boy acts like someone he's not to impress a girl. The narrator had been wanting to ask out Sheila Mant all summer. He knew all of her moods and how she acted just by observing her on the lake. When he finally got up the nerve to ask her out she said "yes" and they were on their way to a concert. The boy loved fishing and he practiced all the time. For his big date he shined up his boat and got it all ready to pick up Sheila. On their way there the boy set up his fishing rod when all of a sudden he felt a gigantic tug on the line. He knew it was a Largemouth Bass. Since Sheila had been going on about how she was disgusted with fishing the boy did not want her to know that he had his rod out. Right there he had to decide what he wanted more: Sheila or the bass. Sadly, he cut the line loose and gave up probably the biggest fish he had ever caught all for a girl that in the end, wasn't interested in him at all.…

    Isolation In Danielle Evans's Short Story 'Jellyfish'

    American fiction writer, Danielle Evans, composes her short stories in such a way that the reader feels compelled to judge a character’s actions. Evans perfects the art of influencing a reader to relate to or feel strong emotion throughout a story. She centralizes the majority of her short stories on the concept of character isolation and the internal conflict caused by such isolation. This isolation stems from the rootlessness found in Evans’ characters. Her characters struggle to find a home, whether it be paternally, romantically, or internally, but they never quite make it there. The best example of this can be found in Evans’ short story “Jellyfish.” The two main characters, William and Eva, struggle with a multitude of internal issues.…

    Analyzing Short Story 'The Bet'

    When trying to work out the theme of a story, we need to remember that the theme is the overall meaning of a work of literature that usually expresses a view or comment on life. Writers rarely state their theme directly; the reader must consider the complex interplay of all of the elements of the story in order to piece together the possible meanings of the work as a whole. Discerning themes always requires a tolerance for ambiguity - especially in an open-ended story like "The Bet" that raises more questions than it answers.…

    English: First-person Narrative and Fish Cheeks

    Each person has his or her foretimes. No matter it is good or bad, delighted or painful, it is a true story of one’s life and the past cannot be changed or wiped away. There are two essays in the book Brief Bedford Reader, “Champion of the World” by Maya Angelou and “Fish Cheeks” by Amy Tan, both authors tell the reader their own story. Maya Angelou and Amy Tan, who were growing up in different environment and communities, have different experiences and different ways to tell their stories. Compare the two authors Angelou and Tan, Angelou is more effectively on using description to depict her sense of isolation from the isolation from the dominant culture in the time and place of her story, in comparison with Angelou; Tan is more effectively on using narration to tell her story.…

    Memoirs of a Geisha Analysis

    The main characters,Chiyo and Satsu, were taken to Kyoto with a promise of a better life compared to the life they have at the village but they only ended up in an okiya and a prostitution house, respectively. Hatsumomo maltreats Chiyo because she foresees that someday, Chiyo will achieve more than what she did in her lifetime. Hatsumomo held Chiyo responsible for stealing her brooch although it was a lie so that she will be more favored. Mameha purposely wounded Sayuri’s thigh so she can gain Dr. Crab’s loyalty and influence. Hatsumomo and Pumpkin followed Mameha and Sayuri to steal the attention of their customers. The Baron offers Sayuri a kimono privately then molests her so he can fulfill his needs. Mrs. Nitta sells Sayuri’s mizuage ritual to Dr. Crab since it will cause her to get more money. Pumpkin betrayed Sayuri in order to get the latter’s customers. All these circumstances leads to prove that greed is the root cause of the abuse of rights. For example, when Chiyo and Satsu were brought to Kyoto, it was without their knowledge and consent, meaning, their right to know what is happening and to decide is robbed from them. Another circumstance is when Mrs. Nitta sold Sayuri’s mizuage ritual to Dr. Crab just to get the money she wanted. In this certain scene, Sayuri was again removed of her right to make decisions for herself. Thus leading to the conclusion that greed is the main cause of the abuse of human…

    Questions on "Mother Tonge" by Amy Tan

    1.Tan opens her essay by stating, "I m not a scholar of English or literature," then states, in the next paragraph, "I am a writer" to show she is not critical, but passionate about language. It is important to her because she was able to excel in English, even though the odds were against her. To be a scholar you must know every corner of something, but to be a writer you have to be creative in order to appeal to an audience. Tan is appealing to pathos, or emotions. Tan wants readers to know her guilt and the difficulties her mother has gone through.…
