Why do you think the other deities don't think a monkey deserves to be treated like all the other deities? Is there something wrong with being a monkey? Your comments here are quite accurate, Polly. Good job.

Enjoy the book. Next week I guess we will begin Crank. I hope you will like that book too.

-Theres a theme of prejudice in the monkey first story is when the deities dont let the monkey king go to the dinner party.they dont treat him like the other deities. They laugh at him because he's a monkey and they think monkeys cant be king.
-In the second story stereotypes are put when the teacher of the new student say that hes from china because he assumed he was from china just by his looks.when the other student make fun of him for what he eats for lunch and wont be friends with him.
-In the third story when the chinese cousin comes and the author makes him look really chinese and really smart.The students made fun of danny because of him. it is prejudice how danny says im anything like him.
