Each short story is written as a sterotypical perspective. From the monkey king to Chin Kee.
When reading about the monkey king, he is basically discriminated against becasue he's a monkey. He is not allowed into the heavens dinner party becasue he has no shoes & he's a monkey. He goes back to the Flower-Fruit Mountian. And changes everything in his kingdom. From the monkies wearing shoes, to him getting bigger and stronger. Mentally and physically. Just think, he did this all becasue what other people think.
Jin Wang comes to a new school. He's teacher automatically thiniks he's from China becasue he's chinese. Thats stereotyping a person. Just because he's chinese doesn't mean he's coming from china. Heck, I look irish, i didn't come from Ireland. As i was saying, from the teacher saying his name wrong to the kids in the school yard, making fun of him becasue he brought dumplings for lunch. Its just plain wrong to judge someone without knowing who, where they came from or why they are here.
Lastly, is Chin-Kee. He is the typical thought of a stereotypical chinese student. Buck tooth, long hair, bad english, and long robe. In the beginning of the story, Chin-Kee comes to visit his cousin in America first off, he comes stomping in and screams "Harro Amellica!" Number one stereotype. People thinking chinese people have bad english. They can, but they try very hard to get rid of it. Mostly becasue they don't want people making fun of them.
