Hello all,
Next week, we will be starting Gene Luen Yang's graphic novel, American Born Chinese. The main plot-line concerns Jin, a young Chinese American boy, who moves to a new town and tries to fit in with those around him. In order to do this, he undergoes a series of changes, leading him on a journey of self-discovery and self-acceptance.
For this week's blog, you are being asked to reflect on a time in your life when you were a newcomer. Describe, in detail, a time in your life when you've been put into a new situation. How did you deal with it? What, if anything, did you do to fit in? Provide context.
Responses should be at least 300-400 words and are due by 3 p.m. Friday, 2/21/14.
