The other part of him wanted to shake his son, to slap him. To shape him into something different. Later, when Nath was too slight for the football team, too short for the basketball team, too clumsy for the baseball team, when he seemed to prefer reading and poring over his atlas and peering through his telescope to making friends, James would think back to this day in the swimming pool, this first disappointment in his son, this first and most painful puncture in his fatherly dreams".

The first disappointment in his family is that they look Chinese thus are racially isolated.]]> 2020-10-27 15:20:30 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolemojica0903/nmyepsmelui4rkmw/wish/866135574 nicolemojica0903 https://padlet.com/nicolemojica0903/nmyepsmelui4rkmw/wish/866145373 "The story––as it emerges from the teachers and the kids at school––is so obvious. Lydia's quietness, her lack of friends. Her recent sinking grades. And, in truth, the strangeness of her family. A family with no friends, a family of misfits."

Her parents thought that since she look the least Chinese she wouldn't be racially isolated but was wrong. A difference was seen in Lydia and her family causing them a lack of friends and other things because of their race thus are racially isolated.]]> 2020-10-27 15:24:02 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolemojica0903/nmyepsmelui4rkmw/wish/866152319 nicolemojica0903 https://padlet.com/nicolemojica0903/nmyepsmelui4rkmw/wish/866179099 2020-10-27 15:29:35 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolemojica0903/nmyepsmelui4rkmw/wish/866179099 nicolemojica0903 https://padlet.com/nicolemojica0903/nmyepsmelui4rkmw/wish/866183808 2020-10-27 15:30:31 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolemojica0903/nmyepsmelui4rkmw/wish/866183808 nicolemojica0903 https://padlet.com/nicolemojica0903/nmyepsmelui4rkmw/wish/867378071 The book is a interesting book, it tackles ideas such as racial isolation, loneliness,and secrets. Lydia is the least Chinese and they believe this means she will live a better life but it is the opposite. Lydia is the glue of the family because she has the least Chinese feature. The rest of their children are neglected which is awful. I wish the father paid attention to his other kids, given the fact that he has been racially isolated, but instead further his kids insolation by only loving Lydia.]]> 2020-10-27 19:47:26 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolemojica0903/nmyepsmelui4rkmw/wish/867378071 nicolemojica0903 https://padlet.com/nicolemojica0903/nmyepsmelui4rkmw/wish/867407026 I believe James hasn't accepted himself for being Chinese so he can't accept his children. Until James learns that being Chinese is not pitiful and learns to love himself then he can love his children.]]> 2020-10-27 19:56:04 UTC https://padlet.com/nicolemojica0903/nmyepsmelui4rkmw/wish/867407026
