American Born Chinese

So American born Chinese coming into this book i had a few guesses and i was partly right but i never expected it to be this type of a story. as far as the reading goes i am pretty interested and i think it flows well. i think it was very important that the author tells you that all 3 stories are interconnected or otherwise it feels like you are reading 3 different books... not to say that is a bad thing because at this point all three of them are very entertaining and keep you from getting bored with one scenario. By far my favorite chapter was the last one we were required to read where the monkey king / the great sage equal to that of the gods... when he meets his "creator" and tries to get away from him then is in total shock and awe when "he" holds up his freshly peed on hand. but all the way from the kid with the Chinese cousin which is named Chin-kee. now to me that looks like a derogatory term for Chinese people which seems odd because the author is Chinese. Anyways so there are two of the scenarios the High school kid Danny that has major problems with his Chinese cousin that comes to visit every year , and the monkey king. the last scenario is that of a little boy Jin that is fresh of the boat from china learning how to deal with life in America he is alone... until he meets Wei-Chen. One more thing to note on Danny's story is he says that his cousin always embarrasses him at school so much they have to move...so why keep letting his cousin go to school with him? it seems kinda stupid i mean how many families (excluding military) move every year in the summertime right in between school years? and the other odd thing how does the monkey king learn all this crazy crap just from meditating? but these are things i can let go in order to read an entertaining Graphic novel and not hate it like everyone else in the class probably does.
