You could be Asian, and American. You don't have to be one or the other. The author taught me this lesson with Frank's journey, where he felt he was in two different worlds that didn't accept him.]]> 2021-09-13 14:51:56 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736370485 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736371379 One of the greatest lessons I learn from this book is sometimes things won’t work out. The author teaches us this lesson by showing how Frank’s parents want him to date a Korean girl. After dating a Korean girl named Joy Song, things didn’t turn out that way.

This stood out to me because when Frank's dad fought and went to the hospital, Brit texted Frank and he didn’t tell Brit what happened but kinda ignored her, but Frank told Q, so why can’t Brit know, Like what. After times past they meet and Brit ask what happen to him and then Brit got upset because Frank did not tell her about his dad. But then Brit kinda forgive him, but said when you like someone you share everything. The thing is the fact that Frank did not tell Brit about the 'fake dating' Joy problem.

The greatest lesson I've learned from reading Frankly In Love, is that don't take the time with your loved ones for granted. The author taught me this lesson by making Frank and his dad relationship distant, but in the end, his dad passed from Cancer and Frank regretted not building a relationship with his dad.]]> 2021-09-13 14:55:34 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736383857 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736385031 If I was the editor of this book, I would suggest that it be more clear. For example, when Frank and Joy were together at the party, and they were alone, they chatted. After a bit Joy said that Wu and she officially broke up. Toward the end of the book Brit and Frank broke up and Wu heard that Frank is dating Joy. Wu punches Frank in the face. He said that was his girlfriend or something like that, but I thought Joy said they broke up. So I’m confused.

For example, Frank found out he took a liking to Joy more than Brit. After dating her, he realized things are not always as easy as he originally thought at first after the pair broke up. ]]> 2021-09-13 14:57:00 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736389198 8334756 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736389653 1.The greatest lesson I learned from this book is that everything just can't go your way because Frank first thought that dating Joy was easy, but after dating Brit and his parents and Joy's parents had a quarrel, Frank wasn't able to see Joy anymore which made things worse for him.]]> 2021-09-13 14:57:06 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736389653 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736396273 If I was the editor of this book, I would suggest not making Frank a jerk to Brit and breaking them up. All the buildup for their relationship goes down the toilet when Frank finds himself randomly in love with Joy. It feels like Frank meeting Brit's family and going on dates with her was for nothing. ]]> 2021-09-13 14:58:53 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736396273 8279332 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736398911 The greatest lesson I learned from this book was racial backgrounds. The author teaches us this because Frank's family hated other races because they weren't Korean. In the book, Frank's parents didn't acknowledge Hannah because she was dating a black man, Miles. From different perspective and racial backgrounds it taught me that people grew up differently. That's why it was easier for Frank to date Joy because she was Korean. ]]> 2021-09-13 14:59:38 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736398911 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736403626 Mid-story, Frank kisses Joy on a wedding cruise after realizing his feelings for Joy and how he didn’t love Brit as much. Do you think it was fair for Frank to keep following his heart to find who he loved, or do you think he was being unfair to Brit and Wu for taking a shot when he could've explained his feelings?]]> 2021-09-13 15:00:40 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736403626 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736407398 If I was the editor of this book, I suggest giving more depth to Brit and Frank's relationship as there wasn't much there, only for the drama basically and maybe giving a small backstory as to why Frank's parents were being racist to other races.]]> 2021-09-13 15:01:44 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736407398 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736411905 2.Some moments that I thought stood out the most is Frank's relasonship withJoy and Brit, they all have some really endearing conversations to bring to the table. ]]> 2021-09-13 15:02:58 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736411905 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736412951 A moment that stood out to me the most is when Frank's dad raged out at a gathering with the Song's because they made a comment about his dad still working at a store where he got shot at and is going to buy him a Gucci brand bulletproof vest. This stood out to me because the Song's disrespects them and looked at them as lower class for years just because of the different neighborhood they were born in Korea. This shows how being from a different social class can impact people’s actions as well as feelings.]]> 2021-09-13 15:03:18 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736412951 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736423548 If I could make one suggestion for this book, I would suggest that Frank ends up with Brit at the end, just to see how things with getting his parents acceptance would go and how that would impact Frank himself, his family, and his relationship with Brit before his mom even had the courage to accept Miles in the family.]]> 2021-09-13 15:06:11 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736423548 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736423933 How did you feel about the argument that led Frank's dad walking out upset?]]> 2021-09-13 15:06:17 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736423933 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736425640 When Joy confessed her love for him, why do you think it was difficult for Frank to confess his love for her at the moment, even when he knew that he felt the same way?]]> 2021-09-13 15:06:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736425640 8279332 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736428162 What stood out to me most in the text was Frank's mom. She courage Frank to date only Korean because of his father. She forgave Hannah and Miles, she knew it was wrong. she saw how happy she was with miles. So then the father didn't care anymore because he was dying. He saw how miles took care of Hannah. Later in the book they regret the things they did to Hannah. This stood out to me because not most people have a good relationship with their parents. It was good for them to accept miles into their home.]]> 2021-09-13 15:07:23 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736428162 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736439460 3. If I was an editor of this book one suggestion I would make to the author is to change the way how Frank, Frank's parents, and Joy's parents act, it always seems that Frank has a lot of trouble telling the truth which means he's always lying, which leads to him not being able to hang out with Joy, or Brit anymore, and all the parents seem to always just get in the way of Frank and Joy with what they do and how badly it affects them, which makes it harder for Frank and Joy to interact.]]> 2021-09-13 15:10:21 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736439460 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736453685 Period 3 
What i learned from this book is mainly about racial backgrounds and how different cultures go about their different traditions. Frank li’s parents wanted him to follow his family’s expectations with every aspect of his life , including with school && love. ]]> 2021-09-13 15:14:01 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736453685 8279332 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736454443 If there is something i would change in this book would be Frank's Father and Mother. The way they act are so cruel and the comments they make about others. If they weren't so racist, him and Brit could of been together. His lies he tells causes trouble through the whole story. It questions me to see who does he really love?]]> 2021-09-13 15:14:12 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736454443 8279332 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736458095 Why do you think at the end of the book he announced that he was Korean-american instead of full Korean?

What stood out to me most was the beginning of the book. When frank li’s parents disowned their daughter because she fell in love with a black boy. Even though she was an astonishing person. She did wonderful in school, Graduated from harvard WITH honors. They still makes it seem as if her falling in love with someone that doesn’t partake in her family’s tradition they disowned her. ]]> 2021-09-13 15:18:32 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736469854 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736471706 A moment that stood out to me in Frankly In Love was when Frank's father got shot. This scene stood out to me the most because when Frank got the call from his mother informing him what happened to his father, he rushed to the hospital. Frank was really upset, and it confused him to see his parents joking around about a serious matter.  They were laughing it off. He decided to call Joy and Q because he wanted his close friends to be there. He didn't want to lose his dad. This is where Frank realized he wants to build his relationship with his father and he can't take his family for granted. Even though his dad gives him a hard time and has expectations for Frank, he still loves him. ]]> 2021-09-13 15:19:02 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736471706 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736573031 I think that the greatest lesson that I have learned from reading this book is that we can't always please our parents and sometimes you have to do what's best for you despite what makes them happy ]]> 2021-09-13 15:47:39 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736573031 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736580266 A moment that stood out to me the most was when Frank's mom told him about his dad having cancer, I think it stood out to me the most because i've felt the panic that Frank was feeling, not knowing if your parent would be okay, not to the extent of Frank but in my head that moment seemed very familiar to me. ]]> 2021-09-13 15:49:47 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736580266 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736581313 The greatest lesson I've learned is that everyone is different no matter who you are. In this book, the Song and Li's family at first thought it would be easier for their kids to date Koreans thinking it will be easier. However, the families ended up turning against each other for the differences where the Song family is from a rich area and the Li family is from a not so rich area. They may both be Korean but that didn't change the fact that they're still different from each other. ]]> 2021-09-13 15:50:05 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736581313 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736586727 2. A moment in the text that stood out to me the most was the breakup scene between Joy and Frank Li. I knew it was going to happen when Joy started to show off some bad signals. In this scene, I thought Frank Li was kind of being selfish since Joy already knew that it was the right decision for them to break up because of what was happening with their families. She was being the bigger person and Frank Li was only thinking about himself in that situation. It made me realize how he can be a little self-centered throughout the book.]]> 2021-09-13 15:51:44 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736586727 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736588497 If i were the editor for the book, A suggestion I would make is that Q and Frank's ending changed, I didn't like how Q liked frank because in my mind its very stereotypical of the 'gay' person to have feelings for their best friend and be turned down in the end, and I feel as though Q should have gotten a better ending or at the least more closure. ]]> 2021-09-13 15:52:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736588497 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736591658 A moment in the text that stood out to me the most was when Frank's father told him he was 100% Korean and 100% American because it showed that his father is somewhat reassuring him that he fits in and that even though he lives in america, he will also always be Korean too.]]> 2021-09-13 15:53:06 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736591658 7745427 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736593147 I lesson that I had learned from the book is to be who you are no matter what. I learned this because in the book Frank thinks he has to change who he is dating to please his parents when he should not have to. He should just be himself and date who he wants and because he is trying to change himself there are a lot to problems that come with it]]> 2021-09-13 15:53:32 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736593147 7744667 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736595370 The greatest, and in my opinion, overall lesson that i took away from this book is that people need to be more open minded. I think the author expressed this in many ways. Through Brit's and Frank's parents, through Q's sexuality, and more important how we look at others.There were so many dynamics and characters that were all so different, that it forced us as reader to keep an open mind because you never know who someone is or what could happen. ]]> 2021-09-13 15:54:11 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736595370 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736596388 If i were the editor of this book, one suggestion I would make is that maybe add the other characters point of views so we can know the cause and reasons of their actions and words. ]]> 2021-09-13 15:54:31 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736596388 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736598137 3. A suggestion I'd give the author would be changing the way Frank Li told Brit about wanting to break up with her. It was wrong for him to kiss another girl (Joy) that he realized he was in love with, but he was still in a relationship. The way the breakup scene happened was completely immature since they're literally seniors in high school and it shouldn't have ended off that way. I'd want him to actually talk it out with her when she was ready instead of them never speaking to each other again.]]> 2021-09-13 15:55:03 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736598137 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736598399 Do you think that If Joy wasn’t in the equation, would Frank have stayed with Brit? Why or why not. ]]> 2021-09-13 15:55:08 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736598399 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736599037 The greatest lesson I learned from reading this book is to appreciate the time you have with someone. The author taught this lesson by having Joy and Frank break up and distancing Franks relationship with his father. Although Frank was happy with Joy, they broke up at the end which shows that you should appreciate the time you have with someone before something goes wrong. Also because Franks dad passed away, Frank missed out on the chance of getting to know him better.]]> 2021-09-13 15:55:20 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736599037 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736601127 If Brit wasn’t in the picture and Frank never fake dated Joy, do you think he would’ve still have fallen for her? Is fake dating the reason for the development of feelings between the two? Or was it the pressure of having to date Koreans?]]> 2021-09-13 15:55:55 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736601127 7745427 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736602286 The part of the book that stood out to me the most was when we learned Q's crush was Frank.

Even though it was hurting him.]]> 2021-09-13 15:56:16 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736602286 7744667 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736604742 I think the moment that stood out to me the most was when Frank and his dad were sitting and having one last drink together. It was a very emotional and touching glimpse of love and hope. In a way, it was relatable for me. Those rare moments with fathers mean the world to some people, like me. ]]> 2021-09-13 15:57:03 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736604742 7686009 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736610612 Post 1-The greatest lesson I learned from reading this book is how different other cultures/races are. Frank's parents wanted him to do everything that they wanted and follow the traditions in their race. The author taught me this lesson by describing ways Frank had to live with the pressure of trying to please his parents, and trying not end up disowned like his sister Hanna.

For example, we barely knew anything about Q and at the end of the book, he relived that he had a crush on Frank the whole book.

This moment stood out to me because I was shocked that her and Franks parents would do something like that. I do get that they wanted Hanna to love someone who's Korean but I didn't believe that they would disown her for loving who she wants. At the end you can't help who you love in love with so I think they could have been more understanding of her wanting to marry a Black man.]]> 2021-09-13 15:59:58 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736614185 7744667 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736616275 Honestly, I loved the book and im not sure i have any important criteria. One thing i wished would have happened, is that Brit and Frank would have worked out. That Frank was going to be able to change his parents minds about things. But, its less of a complaint and more so just something that would have been nice to see. ]]> 2021-09-13 16:00:39 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736616275 hsernayc https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736619004 The greatest lesson I learned from reading this book is how important it is for a parent to communicate and understand their child. In the book, Frank mentions how he tries to get to know his dad more, but his dad doesn't say much. So, their conversations always ends with "Okay, dad." This distance between him and his parents makes Frank avoid talking to his parents about anything. In my opinion, parents should be the people taking initiative and trying to understand their children's 'mistakes', but in the book, Frank does more of the understanding towards his parents. ]]> 2021-09-13 16:01:34 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736619004 7744667 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736620168 1) Why do you think that Frank’s relationship ultimately didn’t work out with Brit Means?

The greatest lesson I learned from this book is that you can't let your parents make your own decisions. Frank Li knew he couldn't date a white girl because his parents only wanted him to date a Korean. This caused him to keep his relationship with Brit in private since he didn't want his parents to know he went against their wishes. He was letting them decide who he should and should not date when it is up to him on who he falls for. ]]> 2021-09-13 16:03:33 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736625286 7745427 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736625527  In the book on page 235, Frank learns that Wu and Joy broke up because he wanted to meet her parents and she told him no. Wu then said that if Frank and Brit can why not them. If Frank did not have Brit come to his house and “meet his parents”. What would have been different between the relationships in the book?]]> 2021-09-13 16:03:38 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736625527 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736629667 If I were the editor, I suggestion I would make to the author would be changing Franks parents perspective on falling in love with Koreans only. I think if Frank's parents were more supportive of him, than he wouldn't feel unheard. I wonder how different the story would be if his parents liked Brit Means. ]]> 2021-09-13 16:04:51 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736629667 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736635839 How do you feel about Wu hitting Frank?

I understand the writer intent that he wanted Frank and his parents to bond a little towards the end of the story, however, I feel like it's unrealistic. I think there are other storylines that are a little less dramatic. Maybe he could've only included Frank's dad getting shot or only having cancer. Also, I really hate sad endings because the story somehow feels incomplete unless the main character is happy, but I understand that not all stories have to have happy endings. ]]> 2021-09-13 16:12:35 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736652621 7686009 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736659397 Post 4- Do you think if Frank told his parents about his relationship with Brit from the start they’d still be together?

For some teenagers, it may be difficult to be honest, and directly tell their parents how they feel or their opinions on a certain topic, question, etc. Frank Li experiences this as his parents are racist and when he calls them out, they say nothing but excuses or denial. I, myself, also struggle as I am aware that my parents would not understand or react similarly to Li's. However, as the story progresses, Yoon has Frank slowly open up to Brit, Joy, and others, who either do or put an effort to understand him but are not by any means rushing or ignoring him. Seeing this, I believe that being more open towards the right friends may possibly benefit our friendship and mentality.]]> 2021-09-13 17:40:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736924195 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736927167 Post #1:
The greatest lesson I learned from reading this book was that even though you may be from the same ethnic group, there will be/are gaps in them; "Say me and Joy had been born in Korea. We'd be Korean. We'd belong to a tribe. But that doesn't necessarily mean we'd belong with each other. Because there are tribes within tribes, all separated by gaps everywhere" (Yoon 385). 

The author taught this lesson through the conflict between Joy's parents and Frank's parents, and how her parents often made fun of Frank's parents because their wealth differences. Additionally, it was brought up that Joy's parents had grown up in a rich area, whereas Frank's parents did not. ]]> 2021-09-13 17:41:35 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736927167 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736928712 A lesson that I learned was that if your closed minded, you could hurt people and affect people pretty badly unintentionally. The author taught me this lesson through Frank's parents. Because they were closed minded it hurt Frank and his relationships with others a lot.]]> 2021-09-13 17:42:07 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736928712 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736938256 The greatest lesson I learned from reading this book is it isn't always best to associate with only those that are the "same" as you. In this case, those who are as the same race as I am. Even though it is better to communicate to one another, but because they are the same as I am, there are always competitions and that feeling of wanting and trying to be better than one another. The author taught me this lesson when Frank's and Joy's parents fight about who's wealthier than who and who's right and who's wrong. It made me realizes what's all the commotions and conflicts I have with the rest of my family is all about. Sometimes, because we are of the same race, it distance us, especially from the expectations that others put upon us. ]]> 2021-09-13 17:44:57 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736938256 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736941122 The moment that stood out to me the most was Joy broke up with Frank. I just wasn't really expecting it to happen because Frank and Joy's parents really encouraged their relationship and Joy seemed like Frank's ideal kind of girl. ]]> 2021-09-13 17:45:56 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736941122 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736942097 The greatest lesson I learned while reading Frankly in Love is that I have to make sure to combine both my cultural and personal life. I should be able to express my culture without fearing being rejected, but I should also be able to do as I please without my culture getting in the way. I think another valuable lesson would be to make choices for yourself without thinking about pleasing others. of course, that is only applicable when it comes to making decisions that affect you and only yourself. ]]> 2021-09-13 17:46:16 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736942097 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736948452 If I was the editor for this book, a suggestion that I would make is to change the ending. I'm not really sure how but it just felt like there could have been a lot more to it. The ending of the book just seemed very abrupt and unexpected. ]]> 2021-09-13 17:48:18 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736948452 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736952422 Hanna and Frank's relationship really stood out to me. Unlike my brother and I, the Li siblings seem to be more loving and grateful for simply having the ability to contact each other after one was disowned. Meanwhile, my brother and I hardly contact each other with our mobile devices unless we are told to, our messaging conversations are also quite dry. This great difference made me realize that I must cherish what I have now. Although my younger sibling may get on my nerves and can be needy, we are sister and brother after all. We will eventually need to look out for one another later in the unpredictable future.]]> 2021-09-13 17:49:28 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736952422 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736953860 The greatest lesson I learned from reading this book is that you have to make the right choices for yourself and not for the people you love. Frank had a hard time understanding who he truly loved because his parents wanted him to be with someone based on their race and ethnicity. Throughout the book, he had tried his best to meet his parents' expectations so he wouldn't be shunned or disowned by them. I was disappointed that Frank let his parents influence his idea of who he should love instead of figuring that out for himself. ]]> 2021-09-13 17:49:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736953860 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736956891 A moment in the book that stood out to me was when Frank, Brit, and her family went out to a Korean restaurant. During this dinner Brit's dad was quickly able to understand that him asking Frank to explain everything in the Korean menu was wrong. What I liked about that scene was the way that he didn't try to argue nor defend himself. He listened and learned, which is something I wish more people would do. ]]> 2021-09-13 17:50:53 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736956891 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736958720 Frank’s parents throughout the story didn't really say any negative things about white people.

But also the "typical", "single story" of having Asian parents you would heard from other people, even though it's not always true. ]]> 2021-09-13 17:53:28 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736964835 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736975176 If I were the editor of this book I would suggest to the author to expand more on why and what happened when Frank's dad was shot at the store.

Although his actions had their reasonings and the couple's doings were wrong, I do feel as if he could have used a bit of character development. His ex-girlfriend, Joy, was sharing the same struggles as Frank, and they could not help but relate and help one another. Their racist parents are unchangeable and they may have been unknowingly influenced by their parent's wishes. I personally believe that Wu and Joy could have ended on better terms, or at least, Frank and Wu's acquaintance could have actually become a bonding friendship.]]> 2021-09-13 17:57:27 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736976276 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736979879 If I were the editor of this book, I would suggest that the author to write a different ending or a sequel. Because I'm someone who likes to see a "happy ending" that would full fill the heart of the readers, I think the ending of Frankly in Love left a big hold in my heart. At least for me, I learns the lessons that the author is trying to convey, but I felt a bit of disappointment and maybe even a cliffhanger when I finish that book. ]]> 2021-09-13 17:58:48 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736979879 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736981288 A moment that stood out to me the most is when Frank's Dad and Joy's dad argued at one of their gatherings. This moment stood out to me because of how Frank and joy's parents had been through so much together, but there had been so much tension between them. They migrated to America together and helped each other start new lives, however, they lacked proper respect for each other. This showed me that even though you may be friends with someone for years, you may not know who that person truly is and what they think of you.]]> 2021-09-13 17:59:19 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736981288 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736981448 How would you describe Frank's relationship with his parents?

One moment in the text that stood out to me the most was:
 "Because my parents are the hands I was dealt, the hand I'm stuck with. I wish I could say something. For Q's sake and mine. Mom-n-Dad will never really see the actual me if I keep my thoughts hidden away like this. But I'm scared to call them out, if I'm being totally honest. Because a child has to belong somewhere. What if you call out your parents, and all they do is slam a door in your face in response?" (Yoon 215-216). 

It stood out to me because it reveals how their parents are, and how Frank sees them as, because it might reveal Frank's fear of losing his parents, just like Hanna, after being disowned. Frank is also afraid to call out his parents because as he stated before, "Mom and dad are like this big ice wall of ignorance, and I'm just a lone soldier with a sword" (29). Additionally, it might relate to different kids who are afraid to call out their parents because it might be referred to as, "talking back". ]]> 2021-09-13 18:01:25 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736987155 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736991587 Discussion Board Question: 

1. Throughout the story, Frank often uses his Tascam to record memorable moments. Towards the end, he decides to leave his Tascam for someone else to hear. “I slow down and crane my neck to see if my Tascam is still there. But the Tascam is gone. I’m so happy to see it missing that I tear up. I’m grateful someone is listening to it right now” (Yoon 404). Why do you think he does that? Is there any symbolism of the Tascam? ]]> 2021-09-13 18:03:00 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736991587 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736992549 Post #3
If I was the editor for this book, one suggestion I would give to the author is to add more reasoning behind Joy and Frank's relationship, and their break up, because it felt so sudden. The reason for this is because I feel like I didn't understand why all of a sudden Frank liked Joy while he was dating Brit, and how after so many years, they finally decided to like each other.
I just hope to change the speed of the story because there were several events happening all at once.]]> 2021-09-13 18:03:20 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1736992549 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1737074565 The greatest lesson I learned from reading this book is that taking the easy way out isn't always the best.For example,Frank thought that now since he's dating Joy things would be much easier for him but it wasn't and he couldn't see Joy anymore.]]> 2021-09-13 18:32:54 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1737074565 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1737077035 A lesson I learned from this book is to take your time. Frank took his time to see who he actually loved and took his time to figure things out and said in the book that when something is blocking your way slowly ease through and don't punch and get upset.

The greatest lesson I learned from this book was to never take your family for granted and always show the people you love how much you care. This book taught me this because, Frank's relationship with his parents show us that they are not affectionate and never are proud of Frank unless it is something they want. This creates a divide in the family, and a resentment towards his parents. ]]> 2021-09-13 18:34:00 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1737077264 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1737082792 Post #2

Although most of us love and care about pleasing our parents, there needs to be a point where you respect yourself enough to put your own pleasure first.

But Frank didn't know he had cancer at the time, so he asked his father what those pills were, and he answered they were vitamins. This struck me since his father was aware of the situation but kept it from Frank for the simple reason that he did not want Frank to be worried. But it's notable how Yoon dropped a hint about something earlier in the text.]]> 2021-09-13 18:51:37 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1737121197 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1737137780 2: A moment that stood out to me the most in the book was when Q revealed that he had a crush on Frank. It stood out to me because it was a slight plot twist and contributed to their friendship unfortunately ending.

I say this because I really would’ve loved to see them continue their relationship and the advice Q could have supplied Frank with, had they never stopped being friends. ]]> 2021-09-13 18:59:32 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1737140771 8085476 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1737142897 If I were the editor of this book, I would advise that Yoon write more about Frank's encounters with Brit at school after he broke up with her, especially because they both take Ap calculus. After Frank and Brit broke up, Brit was barely mentioned, and I feel like, with any break-up, your ex is always something that comes to mind.]]> 2021-09-13 19:00:20 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1737142897 8085476 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1737146169 1.  When Frank and Brit's relationship came to an end. He went on to date Joy, and there were occasions when he was near Brit, but he always behaves as if he and Joy are "just friends." Why do you think he did it that way?]]> 2021-09-13 19:01:42 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1737146169 8085476 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1737148775 2.  Everyone in the family's relationship improved once his father was diagnosed with cancer, and they became much closer. In the book, Frank was aware that his sister Hanna was dating a black man named Miles, but when his father was on the verge of dying from illness, both his mother and father knew Hanna married and will have a child soon with Miles.Then Hanna and Miles are loved and supported by his parents. Why do you think things have turned out the way they have?

The author helps teach this to me because when a lot of bad things are happening to Frank's father, he gets shot and also finds out he has cancer. Recently he and Frank haven't been able to see eye to eye because they both believe in different things. Frank failing to be able to make his parents proud due to him not always doing what they want causes their family to drift apart.

Due to Frank being raised in South Carolina he barely knows how to speak korean. Brits father was able to own that he was wrong and listen carefully while  understanding. This stood out to me the most because not many adults admit when they're wrong.

I know that some people that read this book thought it had a great plot twist, I agree but the things that were happening to Frank's father could've been a little sensitive for others and family members.

In the story, Frank wants to openly date Brit without having to hide her from his parents. However, he knows that his parents are going to disapprove of their relationship and might disown him like what happened to his sister. He hides Brit from them and comes up with a plan to fake date Joy to please his parents. He didn't want to do this but he had to to keep his relationship a secret. He's letting his parents' opinions on having to date a Korean girl impact him and this caused him to have a secret relationship with Brit and a fake relationship with Joy.]]> 2021-09-13 21:57:58 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1737464318 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1737464622 Frank's relationship with his parents stood out to me. It's my first time seeing this kind of relationship between a child and his parents. Most children interact with their parents a lot. But with Frank, they don't really do much. In addition, his parents' opinion of who Frank should marry kind of reminded me of an arranged marriage with someone you don't know and don't like.]]> 2021-09-13 21:58:12 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1737464622 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1737464748 If I was the editor for this book, one suggestion I would make to the author is to make the friendship between Q and Frank a little better. In the story, when Frank started dating Brit or Joy, Frank kind of ignored Q. When Frank dated Joy and after their parents went against each other, Frank had to use Q as a shield to take Joy out. And when they were on a date, Frank totally forgot about Q. I think the author should make Frank a better friend. ]]> 2021-09-13 21:58:17 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1737464748 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1737465304 If Frank was raised in Korea, would he behave like his parents or would he behave like how he is now?]]> 2021-09-13 21:58:42 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1737465304 7686009 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1737479074 Post 3- As the editor of this book one suggestion I would make to the author is changing the ending, I just felt like the book had potential to have a better ending.  ]]> 2021-09-13 22:09:41 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1737479074 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1737563477 If I were the publisher of this book, I would have suggested that the author modify the ending. This is a very powerful book that has done a great job of including real-world issues that can relate to almost all of its readers. However, it seems to me that Frank has been through so much that he deserves a happy ending. A large number of readers, including myself, may feel like something is missing after completing this book. As an editor, I would advise the author to include a happy ending that summarizes the book properly. ]]> 2021-09-13 23:19:23 UTC https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1737563477 https://padlet.com/cminer8/7romlfvz4anntlp5/wish/1737571832 How did Frank's attitude toward love change over the course of the story?
