https://padlet.com/pdamroth/qqfib5plnt9z FOCUS QUESTION: Mia often thinks about how it's every person for themselves in America and that relationships revolve around money. What are some examples in the story that support this thinking? What are some examples that disprove this thinking? How do Mia's feelings on the matter evolve? What do you personally think about this thinking? Is it true for you and the country you live in? REFLECTION QUESTION: Now that you've read the entire book, what are you still wondering? Are there any questions you have for the characters (hopefully that will be answered in the sequel, Three Keys) or questions for Kelly Yang, the author? en-us 2019-11-12 07:06:44 UTC 2019-11-19 04:49:48 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/pdamroth/qqfib5plnt9z/wish/410368559 I think that one of the examples of every person for themselves is when mr. Yao wants to sell the callavista and doesn’t think about the tangs.
But an example of people being kind is when ms.Q lens Mia her dictionary-thesaurus. In South Africa, people are mostly always nice. For example in the supermarket, a lady asked If I wanted to help her do her job.]]> 2019-11-13 03:03:12 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/qqfib5plnt9z/wish/410368559 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/qqfib5plnt9z/wish/410368702 It proves by the guy that said about the trash can and want a free soda for that problem.Another thing that is not the same is the doctor who fight for Mia’s family for the Injury.she change by poorer and poorer because of ms yuo .i will think sad about what happen to her family.in my country some people doesn’t care about money but some of them care about it.]]> 2019-11-13 03:03:47 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/qqfib5plnt9z/wish/410368702 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/qqfib5plnt9z/wish/410368746 Some example in the story is in the hospital, because the manger even knows that Mia’s family was poor, but he still wants the money. But there’s a kind guy which is the kind doctor, he said that it’s okay to not pay, and he said that the doctor is very mean, and he was wrong. I personally think that we shouldn’t only care about money. In my country, I’m sure that my country won’t only care about money.]]> 2019-11-13 03:04:00 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/qqfib5plnt9z/wish/410368746 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/qqfib5plnt9z/wish/410369245 I think Mia is wrong, because the doctor had let Mia’s family pay much less than it suppose to be, and Hank always believed Mia, helped her mom and etc. But still, Mia could think that way, because of the guy who complained about the hair in the trash can and needs free drink, also the drunk guy. When I lived in Korea, the old man in the shop always gave me and my little brother a candy whenever he saw us, so I think people in Korea are not the people that the way Mia thinks.]]> 2019-11-13 03:06:02 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/qqfib5plnt9z/wish/410369245 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/qqfib5plnt9z/wish/410369708 I think Mia is wrong because the doctor didn’t like what the manager did. Even though they were below the poverty line, the doctor still let them pay less. A another example was when Ms Q gave her the dictionary.]]> 2019-11-13 03:07:59 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/qqfib5plnt9z/wish/410369708 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/qqfib5plnt9z/wish/410369752 I think that Mia is wrong . Because everyone in here is nice sometimes ,the doctor is the good example to explain. Because the doctor when Mia is mom hurts he helped them for free and tell the them you don’t have not pay. He is very kind!]]> 2019-11-13 03:08:10 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/qqfib5plnt9z/wish/410369752 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/qqfib5plnt9z/wish/410370212 Some example in the story is the manager in the hospital, because he gave Mia's parents such a big amount of money to pay, and didn’t say anything about it before they checked. There’s always some people that are different from that, like the doctor, because he was really patient with Mia's parents and told them that they don’t need to pay. I personally think that we Shouldn’t be doing that, we cannot always just care about money. In my country that I live in most people are kind and nice, but there are always some people on the opposite side, but there are still people who are doing the right thing!]]> 2019-11-13 03:10:09 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/qqfib5plnt9z/wish/410370212 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/qqfib5plnt9z/wish/410370822 I think  Mia is wrong because the Doctor who let Mia’s mom give him very cheap, and Hank always help Mia .For example, he help her form the drunk guy and he always listen to her.]]> 2019-11-13 03:12:37 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/qqfib5plnt9z/wish/410370822 angkumn https://padlet.com/pdamroth/qqfib5plnt9z/wish/410371220 I think Lupe and Hank change the Mia’s think because Lupe alway help Mia, and Hank help Mia too. ]]> 2019-11-13 03:14:33 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/qqfib5plnt9z/wish/410371220 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/qqfib5plnt9z/wish/410371387 One example of every relationship revolves around money is how Mr. Yao treats Mia and her family like dirt and only wants money and will not waste a single penny on them .   This may not be true though what about the doctor incident with the doctor how he fought his manager so they did not have to pay as much . This changed Mias thoughts and I genus’s got more open minded after how king the doctor was . In China I think this could be true I think all around the world there will always be people who are like that and that we can do our best to not become that and then we help change the world ! ]]> 2019-11-13 03:15:14 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/qqfib5plnt9z/wish/410371387 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/qqfib5plnt9z/wish/410380030 Mia often thinks about how it’s every person for themselves in America and that relationships revolve around money. What are some examples in the story that support this thinking. What are some examples that disprove this thinking.how do Mia’s feelings on the matter evolve. What do you personally think about this ? Is this true for you and the country you live in?

Some examples that support this thinking are when Mr. Yao changed the payment to earn more money while he doesn’t consider Mia and her family’s needs.Some examples that disprove this thinking are when the doctor helped Mia’s mom for less money out of the kindness of his heart. Mia’s feelings evolve because Mia feels better about how the world revolves around money when the weeklies show lots of kindness.
I personally think that this kind of thinking is harmful because it is prejudiced .This is not true in the country I live in.]]> 2019-11-13 03:55:55 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/qqfib5plnt9z/wish/410380030 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/qqfib5plnt9z/wish/410383807 One example that proves Mia right is when Lupe didn’t fight alongside of Mia in the hot seat. Lupe just sat there and watched. But, Mia was wrong because the doctor who fixed her up was very kind, and he waived the bill! Mia’s feelings evolve when at the beginning, she bought this, but now, she doesn’t really. I think that you shouldn’t think that its every man for himself because eyone se help each other and be kind, so you shouldn’t think that. I live in China right now, so it’s mostly true for China. When another person needs help, no one helps him/her. Also, Mia is wrong because the weeklies help her a lot, too.]]> 2019-11-13 04:18:20 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/qqfib5plnt9z/wish/410383807 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/qqfib5plnt9z/wish/410934750 Some examples that supports Mia’s thinking is how people Polly was being mean to Mia. I think she was being mean because she thinks Mia is poor. Some examples that doesn’t support Mia’s thinking when the doctor agreed to not pay the money because the the Tangs were poor. I think Mia’s thinking evolves by Mia because the way Mia think will change her thinking because there was things that disprove Mia’s thinking and things that proof Mia’s thinking. I disagree with Mia because I believe that people should care other. In Korea I saw a lot of poor people and so some we give them money.]]> 2019-11-14 00:02:54 UTC https://padlet.com/pdamroth/qqfib5plnt9z/wish/410934750 28py01 https://padlet.com/pdamroth/qqfib5plnt9z/wish/411018883 I think Mia is wrong because Mia’s family spend a little bit of money
