Half + Half

I think that this tory was very, very dark. I think that rose's life, is very dark, and it's not very happy. Also, i think that something big in this story so far is that mothers and daughters in this book have very stressful relationship. For example, in this story, Rose is telling her past struggles with her life, even though her and her mother's relationship wasn't good at all, they still managed to deal with each other, no matter how stressful it got. Something that i felt was important in this story was the mentioning of water, life, death and a dragon that gets spoken about during a conversation with Bing. Something i've realized over the years, is that in the Asian culture, life, death, and elements are very important to them. Also, i think that this book has a very unique way of creating the minds of Chinese and Asian people, because they talk about seeing demons and dragons and their ancestors in their dreams, when Americans, and this whole other society just looks at them in confusion, wondering what they're talking about. I really like this book, and I think it has been getting a lot better, and it's beginning to be understandable to my mind now, and i can't wait to read the ending.
