Parankas Dumplings By Nancy Holla
In the folktale “Parankas Dumplings”, Nancy Hollas tells the reader about two cooks with different styles in the kitchen. This statement is true because Paranka made the dumplings gently but olya makes the dumplings very roughly. Also olya is clumsy and forgets to pit cherries while Paranka cares about her job a lot. For instance “ Paranka gently folded the dumplings and boiled them to perfection.”, while Olya “ grabbed the rolling- pin and jabbed the dough.” “Then over boiled them in too salty water.’’,This shows one way the cooks have different approaches to cooking dumplings and preparing dumplings. Paranka makes dumplings gently and Olya makes dumpling aggressively. The passage also includes when, “Olya poked the cherries into

    “Hamadi” by Naomi Shihab Nye is a story about a girl from Palestine named Susan, trying to adapt to life in the United States. Susan cherishes her Palestinian traditions and heritage by incorporating aspects of her culture into her American life.

Dates in Palestinian culture represent prosperity and are often included in the diets of Palestinians. Although Susan is now living in the United States, she doesn’t assimilate to American culture or beliefs.…

    Life in the United States was anything but heavenly for Asian Americans in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. As vividly described in Mary Paik Lee's autobiography, "Quiet Odyssey", a very large majority of the Asian American population residing in America during this time period "never had enough money for a normal way of life" (Lee, p.9). They usually had to resort to difficult physical labor to barely get by, jeopardizing their health in the process. Japan's subjugation of Korea, even though it actually took place in Korea, greatly affected the Korean population in America, sometimes even causing some of the initial Korean presence in the States. Lee's story reveals some of the obscure aspects of Korean history that otherwise may be more difficult to excavate. It also depicts the racial discrimination severely rampant during this time, and how Asian Americans worked to better their position in American society despite this obstacle. Asian Americans in Mary Paik Lee's Quiet Odyssey brutally experienced the effects of poverty, degradation, colonialism, and racial discrimination, as reflected in Lee's accounts of personal experience and Asian American Cultures 101 of the University of Washington.…

    In Dave Barry's essay "Lost in the Kitchen" Barry shares his opinion on sexual equality through a personal experience with his family on Thanksgiving. In the conclusion paragraph a point is made that before women's liberation, men took care of the cars and women took care of the kitchen. Now after women's liberation, men no longer feel obligated to take care of the cars. By this, Barry is meaning to say that before women's liberation, women had their specific, "feminine" jobs and men had their "masculine" duties to take care of. After women were liberated, those roles were disrupted and women became viewed as more qualified to take on those more "masculine" responsibilities. At first, one can imagine that men might have felt their definite masculinity slipping away from them and been insulted, but as time has passed that pride has subsided and men are now giving in to the new role women play in society, or as Barry implies, men have not only succumbed to this, but have gotten lazy. I disagree that the balance of responsibility between men and women is weighted more heavily on women due to men's passive or lazy tendencies because especially in a family situation, there are too many variables for the blame to rest on just one gender.…

    As children grow, it is important to find materials that correspond to their growth in multiple areas in order to strengthen and further their development. Perhaps one of the best tools for accomplishing this task is books, which can be used to strengthen a child’s cognition, language, and understanding of the world around them. One such example is A Wonderful Wind from Disney’s “Out & About with Pooh: A Grow and Learn Library.” This book was written by Ann Braybrooks and demonstrates how a book, when written with appropriate developmental steps in mind, can be an excellent tool for helping children ages five to seven learn and develop in the physical, cognitive, social, and emotional domains. Before one even begins reading the story, the…

    One of the ideas Gilbert has in his essay that really shines through for me is specifically how he emphasizes the astounding price we pay. In reality, we do pay a lot for our children. We pay for their basic necessities like food, diapers, and clothing. We pay for extravagant cribs and top of the line car seats to ensure safety. Parents go into debt, take on multiple jobs and give up promising careers to provide.…
