Born In the U.S.A Bruce Springsteen hides the message he wants to get across by having an upbeat song that repeats “Born in the U.S.A.”. With the rollicking rhythm‚ enthusiastic chorus‚ and patriotic album cover‚ it is easy to think this has more to do with American pride than Vietnam shame. He gets the real message across in his music video. The camera is focused on his mouth and for me it made me listen to the truth behind the lyrics not just the upbeat rhythm of the song. Another way Springsteen

American Born Chinese was a book that I would have initially missed reading because it didn’t appeal to me then. However‚ it wasn’t until the three narratives intertwined at the end that I realized that this was a great read.

Being born black in America you are promised two things‚ persecution and a sense of rhythm. My mother tells stories of how as an infant i would love car rides because car rides meant family time and the loud boom baps and humorous style of hip hop from the early 2000’s. Of course practically every infant around a stereo is going bob and dance as a baby does but the way my mother tells it I was the most rowdy of the bunch and would babble my best impression of song lyrics to the top of my lungs.
