This story highlights the differences between the haves and the have-nots in terms of conventional beauty. It also goes on to show both the external and internal impacts from the point of view from those who view themselves without it. This juxtaposes the hegemony of female beauty with the large majority of those who feel they are without it and thus must change the perception of the "beauty" or themselves.

The story also shows Joy's struggles socializing due to her outsider nature. Joy has issues with pronouncing the work "knife" due to to the silent k. "Finally a yellow-haired girl in the class called out, 'It's knife! The k is silent.' and rolled her eyes as if there was nothing easier in the world to know." The end results with Joy winning a prize of a puzzle from her teacher so Joy and her father make it together because of his struggles learning the English language. This connects to the overarching notion of outsider status and its conflicts in the individual experience. This shows how hegemonic discourses damage and isolate those who are not included in that discourse. Such as not having English as your first language does isolate one from the predominant English centric discourses. ]]> 2022-02-21 22:09:09 UTC https://padlet.com/quynhvo/ah52dmrbvda2mnj0/wish/2059426028 https://padlet.com/quynhvo/ah52dmrbvda2mnj0/wish/2059458685 This article is about a Lao family immigrating to another country, where a little girl, Joy, is studying in the country, but her family doesn't know English so they don't wear nice clothes to take pictures. “a few days after that, there was some commotion in the classroom. All the girls showed up wearing different variations of pink, and the boys had on dark suits and little knotted ties. Miss Choi, the grade one teacher, was wearing a purple dress dotted with a print of tiny white flowers and shoes with little heels. The child looked down at her green jogging suit. The green was dark, like the green of broccoli, and the fabric at the knees was a few shades lighter and kept their shape even when she was standing straight up. In this scene of pink and sparkles and matching purses and black bow ties and pressed collars, she saw she was not like the others.” (Page 4)]]> 2022-02-21 22:56:05 UTC https://padlet.com/quynhvo/ah52dmrbvda2mnj0/wish/2059458685 https://padlet.com/quynhvo/ah52dmrbvda2mnj0/wish/2070364156 Our group chose a story called How to pronounce knife, which is about a little girl from a Laotian immigrant family who once came home with a note and her family threw it away without understanding what it meant. It was only the next day that the little girl learned that the note was about needing to wear nice clothes for the class photoshoot. Later, once the little girl brought back a homework, she didn't know how to spell the subject and asked her father, the father's pronunciation was like a knife, so the little girl read the word according to her father's pronunciation in class, and she was rejected. The headmaster reprimanded. Our group felt that the cultural perspective of this article the little girl did not fully embrace Western culture was evident from her failure to tell her family about their mistakes and we also found that the educational hegemony in the West in the story was If the little girl does not comply with the relevant things, the school will criticize her with authority.]]> 2022-02-28 21:54:59 UTC https://padlet.com/quynhvo/ah52dmrbvda2mnj0/wish/2070364156
