Wang Lung lives his life much differenlty than we live ours. Wang has to do everything for his old father and his self. He has to get him food and drinks everymorning, he has to feed and do everything for the crops, and lastly he cannot even take showers...." I have not washed my body all at once in the New Year...It is only one time..."Pg.5 That just shows how much Wang and his father really savor the water that they have so that they can use as much as they can on their crops.
That is not the only thing that is different with Wangs life compared to ours.. it is his wedding day. Although... in this period of time the husband nor wife are allowed to choose eachother. A family member, which in this case was the father picked the wife for Wang. He choose a slave Wang was going into the village for on this day... to get his new wife. Before he left home he who worked at one of the largest houses in the village... The House of Hwang. That was what grabed some money on the way out because he had invited some farmers, cousins, and an uncle over for the wedding celebration. When he was in town he felt that today was the day that was ok to spend money so he bought pork, beef, and a pond fish fo he celebration. Once he got the House of Hwang he was nervous but finally went in to ask the "Ancient Lady" for the girl... Once O-lan had come(his new wife) the "Ancient Lady" had sent them away quickly. They walkded in silence all the way home. Once there O-lan told him she would make the meal but not come out.
All this shows what the mode could be...comedy or romance. Comedy because Wang starts out his life like he "normaly" does, then it looks like it may go down hill a little with a wife who is very quiet. Then again it could be romance because his life starts out happy although he is poor he gets a wife which may make it bad or good.
Books like this can change all the time though... No one can really make a perdicament after reading one chapter, someone can always guess but you can not really know until you read a little farther...
This was a good response. I liked how much text evidence you used to back up your ideas. Next time try not to use so many "...." Other than that, good job!
ReplyDeleteI thought this was a good response. I liked how you used a lot of text evidence to support your ideas. Maybe next time don't summarize too much because it seemed more of summary than you actual opinion which is important. Overall it was a good response(:
