I remember I had a friend that came from Japan and she didn't speak English at all. Even though she did it wasn't pronounced as accurate so people made fun of her. But she felt really sad because it's not her fault that she can't speak English, people just didn't understand. No I don't think Yang used the technique of humor appropriately.

Yang uses humor to make light of experiences that are not so humorous for the immigrants that experience them. Often when reading we laugh at painful experiences of the characters. Have you or anyone you've known had experiences that were funny to others, but painful to you? If possible, explain. Do you think Yang used the technique of humor appropriately?

我也是这么认为，取笑是不对。 如果发生在你身上，你会怎么处理？ 你想 Yang 讽刺的写法已经在你的朋友经验证实。你觉得Yang 有没有用此法提醒众人，取笑别人是会伤人， 尤其是像你的朋友一样。
ReplyDelete你说这些人不懂，你可以写下为设么他们不懂 ？ 如果你是Yang ， 你会怎么表达来点醒这些人？
