This is a important part of the book because this shows that Jing Jang is getting out of his comfort zone.

Lorea I agree with the fact that it is a key moment for the character to develop. Would you relate or apply this in any aspect of your life? 1y
vjay @Lorea I would relate this to my life because I do get shy and don't speak out when I'm meeting new people. 1y
Lorea A similar thing happens to me actually, I feel like a lot of people struggle with it. 1y

AveryD I like your interpretation of that. Do you think that this decision/display of confidence will affect his character in the future? 1y
b3ck4 This shows great character development are there any other forms of getting out of his comfort zone he does in the future. 1y
vjay @b3ck4 Yes, he has shown other forms of getting out of his comfort zone by changing his style and how he looks. 1y

This part of the book stood out to me because the main character was opening up and making new friends.

Lorea Would you say this part of the book represents the difficulties someone has to face while making new friends? 1y
vjay @Lorea I do feel like this is a part of making new friends because not everyone is as talkative and open. 1y
Lorea What about the people that are open? Would you say this is only directed to shy people or that everyone should understand how difficult it is for some people? 1y
Cortez16 It is interesting to see the characters growth throughout the book! What made him open up? 1y
b3ck4 Why do you think opening up is so difficult especially in modern times? 1y

This part of the book really highlights how quick people are to judge other‘s for their culture, while also bringing up a negative stereotype about Chinese people. And while the stereotype presented may not be necessarily true, it demonstrates how people are so quick to judge others for anything that they are not used to or they deem gross.

tanyapfende so inspiring, what is your favorite thing about this book. 1y
vjay @tanyapfende My favorite thing about this book is when he starts accepting who he is and he starts making new friends. 1y
