Secret Garden East Asian Review
There are several bloggers that I follow religiously. In fact I have a hard time concentrating in classes until I read their posts each morning (ssshh!). The curiosity and dedicated habit kills me. And a lot of them just crack me up. Make me smile and laugh by myself like a crazy person while walking to class and passing by a crowd of tourists near the chapel. They’re clever and well-written. And truthfully, I get so upset when I can’t think of witty things to say in my own posts! (I mean, seriously, after reading multiple completely brilliant posts every day, something should have clicked into my brain by now).

So with this post, well, I have many things to explain. It was actually thought up and written last Sunday, and I basically had no time to post it on Tumblr with the whole formatting issues and what-not (everything becomes disoriented and I, with my deficiencies in the field of technology, find it unbearably difficult and time consuming to slowly format all the paragraphs, sentences, spaces, gifs, links, etc). Now that I have time a week later and after all my midterms, I’ll be posting and sharing my thoughts on episode 7 of the amazing and where-have-you-been –all-my-life drama Secret Garden. And I can’t emphasis this enough but this episode was SO SO FUN!!! I can’t even explain my feelings to the full extent. And you know what they say about unexplainable things. Jaw-dropping voice-killing

    Another voiceless character who neglects to detach herself from the Chinese diaspora is Kingston’s aunt, Moon Orchid. In the story "At Western Palace," Moon Orchid struggles to confront and speak with a husband who abandoned her in China. When Moon Orchid reluctantly faces her Americanized husband, her silence denotes how virtually voiceless a Chinese woman is who lives in a traditional patriarchal society. Although Brave Orchid provides a chance for Moon Orchid to question her husband, Moon Orchid asserts her years of frustration “without any words coming out" (Kingston 153). Instead, Moon Orchid retreats behind her sister to shield for her. In the light of her silence, Mood Orchid realizes that she must have become “a ghost from China” in…

    Death was forecasted as we propelled through the storm that awakened at our wrongdoings. “The bows went plunging at the breeze, sails cracked and lashed out strips in the big wind.” (p. 1048) Even the simple thought of one surviving through the maelstrom was inconceivable. Nine days we “drifted on the teeming sea before dangerous high winds.” (p. 1048) On the tenth day, we “came to the coastline”.…

    In the Mary Oliver poem “Singapore”, she speaks about how some people expect all poems to only be about nature and obvious happiness. However, she shows that with imagery they can be found in the least likely of places. She talks about this woman she sees in a Singapore airport restroom cleaning an ashtray in the toilet and she compares this image to a vision of nature. In this poem, the author uses a collaboration of imagination, nature imagery, and what she physically sees to compare the woman and the work she is doing to nature and happiness. The structure of Oliver’s poem is setup to go back and forth between what is really happening and what is being made up in her imagination.…

    “‘Oh!” cried Mary, ‘is he going away tomorrow? I am so glad!’” Even though she is glad for a reason that may seem selfish, I think that her excitement shows relief in the fact that she doesn’t have to fear someone will take the secret garden away from her. If the garden were to be taken away from her, she should believe she’d have nothing to be happy about anymore and would be extremely upset that her special happy place was gone. “‘Might I,’ quavered Mary, ‘might I have a bit of earth?’”…

    The trip around the lake was quick. Once we reached the other side we encountered a garden. The garden was very healthy and appeared to been well taken care of. It was full of bright, vibrant colors. The garden was filled with exotic beauty. Every type of flower you can think of. Some rare and some not. Vines were hanging everywhere and the ground was covered in a spongy moss that made you feel like you were sinking into it.…

    Chinatown Ethnography

    • 860 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The site that I have chosen for this ethnographic research is the streets of Chinatown. The reason why I chose Chinatown is because it portrays my Asian background, but at the same time, it still brings out some Western elements so that I could relate the two different cultures with each other. I had some trouble coming up with a site that allows me to feel connected to it because a lot of the other sites that I go to more often do not signify anything special particular about my character. The first site that came to mind when I was brainstorming ideas was Barnes and Nobles. I go there to look at books as well as to observe the other people around me. I thought that this would be easier for me because its location is a lot closer than Chinatown's.…
