So long title..

I liked seeing the cute small pictures in it and also it was quite interesting to look sth in a view of a boy who is autistic. Christopher is focusing on only one thing that he wants to think and do without caring any others' feelings.

I could feel the hardness that his parents had and became to worry suddenly what if I'll get this kind of not-ordinary child.

Anyway, it was interesting to read.

This book is one of the John Newberry medal winners. I really enjoyed reading this and also there was a message to get.

In this book, there was one major assumption- what if there is a community called Sameness? As it sounds, in that community, there are no diversities and everything was already planned and organized in advance by a few commettee elders.

They made some regulations for people to follow and didn't allow any transagressions. Their jobs, spouses, and children.. everything is designated by others not by themselves.

But the most shocking thing was they couldn't realize that they didn't have any rights to choose because they were accustomed to it from back and back and back. I think it's a great book not only for children but adults too.

Reading this book, I can appreciate the value of differences and varieties. Also, I can look at the other side of some concepts or things that always used to be around me and considered to be so common and not valuable at all.

Sooner or later, I want to read this again after studying some words in this book.

When I realized that this book was the abridged version, I really happened to cry. Even though I put the tick for this book on the site, I never dreamt that this is thin for Engligh learners.

Hmm.. I should buy the another UNabridged one sooner or later.

It was quite interesting. It was the story about 4 Chinese moms who moved to America for better lives and also about 4 Chinese-American daughters who were just like American.

I could imagine how deep the gorge would be between the moms and their daughters. That's because not only the generation gap between them, but also the huge cultural differences. The mom didn't understand her daughter's asking of calling in advance for a visit. Also she couldn't accept the boyfriend of her daughter's when he agreed on her when she said st just for humble as Chinese do as usual.

Though they've built an invisible wall between them, they could become to symphatize each other slightly and slowly.

It makes me think about my mom also who was always proud of her daughter like the one of the mom did. She said, "She is my daughter and I am proud of her, and I am her mother but she is not proud of me."
