Cousin Chin-Keee Speech
Today has been weeks since cousin Chin-Kee first arrived. I wish that he could go back to china, where he belongs. He has embarrassed me since the first day of his arrival. Moreover, people have treated me differently since I hang out with cousin Chin-Kee. I figured that some people are just being racist like when Chin-Kee dance while singing on top of a table for no reason today. Some of them have expressions that look very judgmental, just because he acts and looks different. But in that moment I don’t really care, I felt so angry and I wanted to beat him up for embarrassed me all this time. After he stops singing, I dragged him outside and just slap him. I don’t know what was I thinking, but I slap him repeatedly until he started to punch back. It hurts so …show more content…
I was so scared; I thought that a monkey is an angel in disguise sent by Tze-Yo-Tzun the gods to test my patience or something. It turns out that Chin-Kee is the monkey king who transforms into my cousin who just wants to look over his son (Wei-Chen). I was quite surprised and confused until the monkey King explained to me everything. The monkey king told me after he completed the test of virtue; he was raised as Tze-Yo-Tzun emissary. As one of the most respected emissary he was asked by Tze-Yo-Tzun to train his eldest son to be like him by testing him with the test of virtue. In the middle of completing his test, Wei-Chen told his dad that he lied for me. His dad told him that he would get in so much trouble because of lying. From that moment I knew that Wei-Chen is a true friend who is willing to help me during happy and sad times. As a friend I am so proud to have a loyal best friend like Wei-Chee by my side. At the end of Monkey King’s story he told me that he could have safe 500 years of imprisonment beneath a mountain of rock if he had realized how magnificent it is to be a

    The monkey presented in the story symbolizes the animalistic nature of humans. The monkey represents the stubborn, bias, and shallow views of the people of the time period in the quote, “... a gray monkey about a foot high, chained to a chinaberry tree, chattered nearby. The monkey sprang back into the tree and got to the highest limb as soon as he saw the children jump out of the car and run toward him.”(O’Connor 325) The animal is chained to signify the limitations to the views the characters like the Grandmother and Red Sam believe. When someone poses animal-like characteristics, humans completely dominate their environment that our social structures have become ecosystems unto themselves. Animals learn to act exactly like their parents as they grow to adulthood; furthermore, once the animal is an adult, it has the behaviors, ideas, and motives of the parents that will never change and will pass those traits on to the next generation. This corresponds with the Grandmother and the story, with her children and grandchildren; for example, when a person is the most dominant character in the family, the inferior ones follow behind grasping the beliefs of the dominate character.…
