In the morning the weather is warm just like in spring. An hour later black clouds come and then it rains hard. The weather gets a little cold.

T h e J o y L u c k C l u b《喜福会》英文观后感(总2页)--本页仅作为文档封面，使用时请直接删除即可----内页可以根据需求调整合适字体及大小--My Appreciation of the Joy Luck ClubThe first time I saw the title of the film, the Joy Luck Club, I thought that it would be a film filed with joy, luck and happiness. However, out of my expectation, in the film, I saw many unpleasant things—conflicts, hardship, disappointment, sorrow, hurt, torture etc. Of course there were some moving parts, and fortunately, it was a happy ending. Anyway, I enjoyed it very much. It made me have a penetrating thinking.The Joy Luck Club tells about the conflicts between Chinese immigrant mothers and their American-raised daughters and their struggling to understand each other.The film shows us these topics: the misunderstanding of love between the mothers and the daughters, the clash between the generations and cultures, and the struggle for the women to fight for equity. Now I am going to show you my understanding of them, emphasizing on the first topic.In many cases, we and those we love are easy to hurt each other because of the misunderstanding of love, the conflicts in generations and culture background, or unconsciousness.Take Jingmei and her mother Suyuan as an example. When Suyuan demands the little Jingmei to play piano, Jingmei shouts to her mother, “You can’t make me!” Even Jingmei cried that she wish she isn’t Suyuan’s daughter and Suyuan isn’t her mother, and that she wishes she were the dead like the babies Suyuan abandoned in China. The sad expression on Suyuan’s face indicates that she is hurt deeply by her daughter’s innocent words.This reminds me of my similar experience. Once I hurt my mother as Jingmei did.I did n’t mean to hurt her, but those wounding words just slip out of my mouth unconsciously. Often, we hate that why our parents don’t know my feelings, why they like to make us be something and totally unaware that what their children are. While the parents don’t know why all their sacrifices to the children can’t be paid off, even incite hatred. Actually, this is the generation gap that causes the misunderstanding. We don’t know the hardship our parents underwent before. They can’t understand what we are thinking. So misunderstandings appear. Maybe as a child, Jingmei cannot comprehend what her remarks mean to Suyuan, and just want to show her grudge. But another main reason is the different backgrounds of Suyuan and Jingmei bare. Chinese parents always like to put all their hopes on the next generation for they are the generation full with hardship and pain. All they do just want the children to be better, but they ignore that whether their children can accept or not, not along a child born in America, influenced by the American’s individual freedom and knowing little about Chinese culture. The generation gap and culture conflict cause the misunderstanding of the mother and the daughter.The other example is Waverly and her mother Lindo. Waverly tries her best to please Lindo in everything. Whether her mother approves or not becomes the master of all her choice. Even Waverly marries a Chinese man because Lindo likes Chinese, while she doesn’t love. Waverly doesn’t understand why Lindo disapprove or criticize whatever she has done. On the other side, Lindo thinksthat her daughter is ashamed of her, which is her continual internal injury after Waverly’s winning that chess contest, when Waverly shouted to Lindo if Lindo wanted to show off, won the chest by herself. Every time, Lindo’s disagreement with or indifference to Waverly directly results from the thought that Waverly feels it shameful to be her daughter. Both of them deeply love each other, but in the meantime, they hostile and hurt one another. This is the way them get along with each other. Fortunately, they clear up their misunderstandings and discover themselves by communicating.I am deeply moved by this scene:Waverly Jong says to Lindo, sobbing,, “You don't know, you don't know the power you have over me. One word from you, one look, and I'm four years old again, crying myself to sleep, because nothing I do can ever, ever please you.”And after a short period of silence, Lindo smiles to Waverly with tears in her eyes, “Now, you make me happy.” Then they laugh heartily, teary-eyed with happiness.Seeing the old Lindo bursts out laughing, like a child, and Waverly laughs joyfully, I sincerely feel delighted for them. Love needs communicating, understanding, and tolerance, which is what I learn from them.Along with above mentioned, the struggle for the women to fight for equity is also brought to the surface. For instance, Ying-ying encourages her daughter Lena to escape an unhappy marriage, not repeating the same mistakes she made in her first marriage. And An-mei tells her daughter Rose to learn to shoutat the unfair fate, and express her own will because Rose has lost herself in her marriage. These two cases reveal that the women begin to release themselves from the restrains of being oppressed by the men and the old-fashioned thoughts as well as some Chinese traditional characters. Eventually, the women find their true value and win their own happiness.View from the whole film, the title, the Joy Luck Club may just be the old generation’s hope of better life for the next generation. On the whole, this is a movie made specifically for women. It is worth our appreciation.。

Take the sentence 鈥淗ow do you do?鈥?as an example. If you look up each word in the dictionary , one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in you own language. Languages do not just have different sounds they are different in many ways. It鈥檚important to master(鎺屾彙) the rules for word order in the study of English, too. If the speaker puts the words in a wrong order, the listener can鈥檛understand the speaker鈥檚sentence easily. Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence won鈥檛be changed. But sometimes when the order is changed , the meaning of the sentence doesn鈥檛change. Let鈥檚see the difference between the two pairs of sentences below. 鈥淪he only likes apples.鈥?Only she likes apples.鈥?鈥淚have seen the film already.鈥?鈥淚have already seen the film..鈥?When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit of the language and use it as the English speaker does. 锛?锛?..

七年级下册英语作文介绍你们学校社团全文共5篇示例，供读者参考篇1My Super Cool School ClubsHi there! I'm Timmy and I'm in 6th grade. I go to Sunnyville Elementary School and it's the best school ever! We have so many fun clubs and activities to choose from. Let me tell you all about them!First up is the Science Club. This one is awesome if you love experimenting and doing cool science projects. Every week, we get to do a different experiment like making a volcano erupt with baking soda and vinegar or seeing how far you can launch a rocket made out of a plastic bottle. My favorite was when we made our own lava lamps with some vegetable oil, food coloring, and a little bit of magic...well, okay, it was actually just some science stuff but it looked like magic to me! The Science Club is run by our science teacher, Mr. Stevenson, and he's hilarious. He always has these crazy experiments planned that make us go "woahhhhh!"Next is the Art Club which is basically every creative kid's dream! We have all the art supplies you can imagine - paints, colored pencils, clay, you name it. We work on painting beautiful pictures, sculpting little figurines out of clay, and all sorts of crafty things. Sometimes, we even put on fun plays or skits for the whole school. Last month, we made these awesome Paper Mache animals that looked super realistic. My giraffe ended up being taller than me! The Art Club is led by the wonderful Mrs. Garcia who says we should "let our creativity soar." I always leave feeling like a true artist.If you're more of a sports fan, then you'll love our Sports Club. We play all kinds of sports and games like basketball, soccer, kickball, you get the idea. The Sports Club takes place out on the field during recess time. Mr. Rodriguez, our P.E. teacher, runs it and he's awesome at motivating us to stay active and have fun. We often have little mini-tournaments for the different sports and the winners get a cool medal or trophy. I was the runner-up in the kickball tournament last year!But that's not all! We also have a Coding Club where we learn about computers and programming. We get to make our own games, websites, and apps using kid-friendly programming languages. It's headed by our computer teacher, Mrs. Hill, who iskind of like a computer wizard if you ask me. Just last week, she taught us how to build a simple robot that could actually avoid obstacles - how cool is that?! I'm working on coding my own endless runner-style game right now. My friends cannot wait to try it out!If you're more of a word person, we have a Creative Writing Club too. This is where all the poets, novelists, and playwrights in the making hang out. We spend time writing fun stories, poems, scripts for plays, or anything else our creative minds can dream up. Our librarian, Mrs. Peters, is in charge of this club and she's always giving us fun writing prompts and advice. Sometimes, we even get to share our best works by reading them aloud to the entire club! I wrote a funny short story last month about a talking dog who loved eating homework. It had everyone in stitches!Finally, we have the Music Club for all my singing, rapping, and rock star friends out there! We get to learn how to play instruments, write our own songs and lyrics, and even put on concerts for the whole school. Our music teacher, Mr. Watkins, brings in all sorts of fun instruments like guitars, drums, keyboards, and more. Last year's Winter Concert was so much fun - we rocked out to classic hits and modern pop songs. I was one of the lead singers and it was an absolute blast!Phew, that's a lot of clubs, right? I couldn't possibly join them all...or could I? There's always something exciting happening at Sunnyville Elementary. No matter what your interests and hobbies are, you're sure to find a club that's just right for you. Why don't you come check us out sometime? You'll have an absolute blast, I promise! Well, I'm off to Coding Club now. Gotta keep working on that game! See ya!篇2School Clubs Are Super Cool!Hi everyone! My name is Emma and I'm in 7th grade. Today I want to tell you all about the awesome clubs we have at my school. Clubs are such a fun way to try new activities and make new friends. We've got clubs for pretty much every interest you can imagine!One of the most popular clubs is the Art Club. If you love drawing, painting, sculpting, or any kind of art, this is the club for you. The Art Club meets once a week after school in the art room. The art teacher, Mr. Rodriguez, is in charge and he's so nice and talented. In Art Club, you can work on your own projects or join in on group activities like still life drawing or clay sculpting. Sometimes they even go on field trips to museums or artgalleries. It's a great way to get creative and express yourself through art.Then there's the Coding Club, which is perfect for anytech-loving students. Members learn all about computer programming, web design, robotics, and more. They work on coding projects and apps, train for coding competitions, and sometimes bring in guest speakers from tech companies. My friend Jake is obsessed with Coding Club – he's already built some really cool apps and games. It's a super hands-on way to develop your coding skills.If you like being active, you'll definitely want to join the Running Club. Every week they go for runs around the neighborhood and trails near the school. They also train for fun runs and 5Ks in our community. My older sister was in Running Club and she made a ton of good friends. Plus, it's an awesome way to get exercise and stay fit. You don't have to be a super fast runner to join either.The school's environmental group is called the Green Club, and they focus on sustainability and protecting the planet. Members run recycling drives, do beach cleanups, and create posters to raise environmental awareness. Sometimes they even get to go on nature hikes and camping trips, which sounds like ablast. Green Club is pretty popular with students who care about climate change and want to make a positive impact.For kids interested in robots and engineering, we have a Robotics Club that's out of this world! They build and program all kinds of robots to perform tasks and compete against other schools. Last year, the Robotics team went to the state championship and almost won the whole thing. It's such a unique opportunity to apply science and tech skills in a fun, interactive way.Then there are the academic clubs like Math Club, Science Club, and Book Club if you're into those subjects. Math Club prepares for math competitions and does supplemental math activities. Science Club does tons of hands-on experiments and goes on field trips to science museums. And Book Club is for all you bookworms out there – you read new books every month and discuss them with the group.We've also got clubs for kids who love to perform, like Drama Club and Choir. Drama Club puts on a school play every year and it's always a big deal that parents and students look forward to. Choir is amazing too – they learn vocals, practice songs, and perform concerts throughout the year.For the sports fanatics, there are athletic clubs like Basketball Club, Soccer Club, and Volleyball Club. They have regular practices and compete against other schools' club teams. My friend Sophia is a beast on the basketball court - she practices with Basketball Club every week to stay on top of her game.Last but not least, we have some Cultural Clubs that celebrate the diversity of our school. There's French Club, Spanish Club, Chinese Club, and more where you can learn about different cultures and languages through fun activities, events, and outings. I'm part of Spanish Club and we always have such a blast practicing Spanish, watching movies, cooking cultural foods, and celebrating holidays.Phew, that's a lot of clubs! And I probably missed a few too. Basically, we have options for every single interest you can think of. Clubs make school way more fun and give you a chance to bond with other kids over your favorite hobbies and passions.If you're not already in a club, I highly recommend joining one (or two, or three!). It's an awesome way to try something new, discover interests you never knew you had, and make lifelong friends who share your enthusiasm. Don't be shy – sign up for a club that sounds exciting! You might just find your new favorite activity.Well, that's all I've got for now on our incredible school clubs. Let me know if you have any other questions! Clubs are just one reason why going to my school is THE BEST.篇3My Super Cool School ClubsHi there! My name is Timmy and I'm a 7th grader at Oakwood Middle School. Today I want to tell you all about the awesome clubs we have at my school. We've got so many fun ones to choose from!Let me start with my favorite - the Science Club! In Science Club, we get to do all sorts of crazy experiments. Last month, we made our own lava lamps using vegetable oil, food coloring, and Alka-Seltzer tablets. It was so cool watching the colored blobs ooze up and down in the lamps. My lava lamp ended up looking like a underwater jellyfish dance party!Another time, we extracted DNA from a strawberry. Can you believe that? Actual DNA! The strawberry seemed normal at first, but after mashing it up and adding some chemicals, we could see the thin, white DNA strands. It was like a tiny string theory experiment right in our classroom. The best part was getting totake home a tube with my strawberry DNA inside. My mom still can't believe I unlocked the building blocks of life.But that's not all Science Club lets us do. We've also built terrariums with soil and seed, launched filming rockets, and experimented with hovercrafts made from CDs and balloons. I love all the hands-on activities! It's like being a scientist on an important mission to discover something new.Okay, next up is the Coding Club. This one is awesome for anyone who wants to learn about computers and technology. I'm actually the youngest member because I've been coding since I was 8 years old. My dad's a software engineer and he taught me early!In Coding Club, we use programs like Scratch and Python to build games, websites, apps, you name it. Last year, I created a racing game with my friend Jake where you had to escape hungry zombies while driving a future car. The graphics weren't amazing, but the gameplay was sick! I definitely want to be a video game designer when I grow up.We're always coming up with new ideas and learning to code them into reality. Just a few weeks ago, we started making our own encrypted chat app so we can send private messages back and forth. Games and apps are the obvious highlights, butcoding also teaches you problem-solving, creativity, and persistence. It's an incredibly useful skill.Then there's Art Club, which is a favorite for many students. We have artwork from Art Club members decorating the hallways all over school. Personally, I love drawing comic book characters and creatures. My latest masterpiece is a superhero called Cyber-Eye who has cyber shades that shoot data lasers. Maybe I'll invent him in Coding Club too!In Art Club, we do everything from painting to sculpting to printmaking. We've made drawings using ink and fancy calligraphy pens, created clay monsters that we got to paint herself, and designed large posters for school events like the science fair using chalk and pastels. Sometimes we even go outside and use natural materials like leaves, flowers, and twigs in our art. It's a great way to unleash your imagination and make something tangible.Next up is Drama Club, which performs a big play once a year for the whole school. This year, they're doing a drama about explorers who travel through time and meet famous figures from history. How cool is that?! I really want to audition for the role of an Incan prince from the ancient empire.In Drama Club, you also learn about acting techniques, stage presence, prop design, and all the behind-the-scenes work that goes into putting on a production. Some of the crew members are artist set designers and costume makers. Others are expert lighting technicians ensuring the performers can be seen. It's a huge team effort! I can't wait until I'm old enough to join.There are so many other clubs too, like Skateboarding Club, Gardening Club, Chess Club, and Debate Club. Skateboarding is exactly what it sounds like - learning tricks and skating around the school's parking lot when it's empty. In Gardening, you plant fruits and veggies in our greenhouse and outside gardens. Chess Club is for strategy masters to play each other. And Debate lets students pick sides and argue about important issues.My school definitely has a club for every interest. You can explore your passions, dive into hobbies, and have tons of fun along the way. Clubs are a big reason why I love going to school each day. Yeah, classes are important for learning stuff. But clubs give you freedom to create, experiment, and bond over shared interests.I'm already counting down the days until I can join Drama Club and become an Incan prince explorer. Or maybe I'll travel through time as a scientist testing out theories instead? Withclubs, there's always an opportunity to embark on a new adventure. My school truly is the best!Well, that's all I've got for now friends. I hope you enjoyed hearing about my super cool school clubs. If your school doesn't have clubs, maybe you can start some of your own! Just talk to your teachers about the idea. Clubs are an amazingly fun way to spend time with people who love the same things you do. I simply can't imagine school without them.Keep exploring your curiosities and pursuing your passions. You never know where they'll lead you! I'm off to my next Science Club meeting now. We're going to see if we can genetically engineer the perfect lemonditchly flavored lollipop. Wish me luck!篇4My School's Awesome Clubs!Hi friends! I'm so excited to tell you all about the cool clubs we have at my school. There are so many fun ones to choose from! Let me tell you about some of my favorites.First up is the Art Club. This is one of the biggest clubs at our school. We get to do all sorts of artsy things like painting, drawing, making pottery, and even sculpting with clay. Myfavorite is probably the painting though. We use lots of bright colors and can paint whatever we want – animals, landscapes, portraits, you name it! The teachers are really nice too and always compliment our work. At the end of the year, we even get to put on a huge art show to display everything we've made. It's so much fun!Another awesome club is the Cooking Club. Yum, who doesn't love food?? In this club, we learn how to make all kinds of tasty dishes and desserts. We've made things like pizza, tacos, cookies, cupcakes, and so much more. The best part is that we get to eat everything we make! My mouth is watering just thinking about it. The teachers are professional chefs, so they really know what they're doing in the kitchen. I've learned so many useful cooking skills. My parents love it when I help make dinner at home now!If you're more of an outdoorsy person, then you'll love the Nature Club. We go on hiking trips every few weeks to explore the woods and wilderness around our town. We learn about all the different plants, trees, animals, and ecosystems. Once we even saw a deer up close! We also do fun activities like birdwatching, studying different rocks and fossils, and going on nature scavenger hunts. Sometimes we'll pack a picnic lunch toeat in the great outdoors. It's a nice break from sitting inside a classroom all day.But that's not all! We also have a Dance Club where we practice all kinds of dance styles like hip hop, ballet, jazz, tap, you name it. We put on fun performances for the whole school a few times per year to show off our moves. The Music Club is awesome too – we learn to play instruments, read music, and even get to form our own little bands or choirs. So many opportunities to get those creative juices flowing!For all you brainiacs out there, the Math Club and Science Club are super cool. In Math Club, we play brain-teasing math games and get ready for competitions against other schools. The Science Club does wacky experiments every week (my favorite was the volcanic eruption one – it was wild!). You'll learn so much crazy science stuff.I could ramble on forever about the other clubs like Drama, Coding, Gardening, Robotics, Book Club...The list just goes on and on! No matter what you're interested in, I'm willing to bet we have a club for it here. Teachers are always coming up with new club ideas too based on what us students want.Honestly, clubs are one of the best parts of going to my school. They keep things fun and let you explore your interestsand hobbies beyond just academics. You'll make new friends who love the same activities you do. And you'll have memories to last forever from all the exciting experiences. Who knew learning could be this enjoyable?If you're not part of a club yet, I highly recommend joining one or two that sound appealing. Get out there and try new things! You might surprise yourself by discovering a passion you never knew you had. Clubs are the perfect way to squeeze some extra fun and enrichment into your days. Just don't join too many or you'll never have free time! But no matter what, get involved. You won't regret it!篇5My Super Cool School ClubsHi there! My name is Timmy and I'm a 7th grader at Oakwood Middle School. Today I want to tell you all about the awesome clubs we have at my school. We've got so many to choose from, there's something for everybody!First up is the Science Club. This one is headed up by Mr. Jenkins, who just might be the nerdiest science teacher ever (but in a good way!). In Science Club, we get to do all sorts of crazy experiments. Just last week, we made mini volcanos out ofbaking soda and vinegar and had an eruption competition to see whose could shoot the highest. My friend Jake's volcano totally won, but I think he may have cheated by adding a little too much baking soda. Shh, don't tell Mr. Jenkins!Next is Chess Club, run by the very serious (but nice) Mrs. Patel. I'm not gonna lie, I'm not very good at chess. All those complicated rules and strategies make my brain hurt. But the kids in Chess Club are super smart and competitive. They're always studying old chess games and theory and stuff. I get dizzy just watching them play sometimes with how quickly they move the pieces around. Still, it's pretty cool to see them in action.Now for one of the most popular clubs: Art Club! This is where I spend a lot of my time after school. Our teacher Ms. Ramirez is like, the chillest adult ever. She just lets us get creative and express ourselves however we want. Painting, sketching, sculpting with clay, you name it. My specialty is cartoons - I love coming up with funny characters andeling their adventures. Last month I made this epic comic about a crime-fighting squirrel detective. It was hilarious but also had a really profound message about wildlife conservation. Okay, maybe not that profound, but it was still great.Ooh, I can't forget about Cooking Club! Miss Becca from the cafeteria runs this one, and let me tell you, she knows her stuff. We get to make all kinds of crazy snacks and meals in the home ec classroom. From zesty salsa to gooey brownies, I've learned how to cook it all. I just have to be careful not to burn anything or else Miss Becca makes you wash all the dishes as punishment. Speaking from experience, that is not fun!If you're more of an outdoorsy kid, you'll love Environmental Club. Mr. Reed is the super enthusiastic science teacher in charge of this one. We go on nature hikes all the time to explore the woods behind the school and learn about the local plants and animals. We even haveاcamping trip every year where we pitch tents, build campfires, and sleep under the stars. Just watch out for Mr. Reed's crazy ghost stories around the campfire. That man has a funny way of making literally anything seem terrifying!Sports fans, have no fear - we've got plenty of athletic clubs too. There's Basketball Club, Soccer Club, even a Ultimate Frisbee Club for you free spirits out there. My personal favorite is Running Club with Coach Jose. He's a pretty intense guy who doesn't let us take any breaks during our long-distance training. But I guess that's why I'm getting to be such a good runner now.We compete against other middle schools too and have won a bunch of medals and trophies.What else, what else? Oh yeah, I can't forget Video Game Club! Mr. Daniels runs this one, and I'm telling you, he is as much of a gaming nerd as any of us kids. We're always arguing over which is better: Xbox or PlayStation, Nintendo or PC. We have massive tournaments for games like Call of Duty, Mario Kart, you name it. The prize is basically just major bragging rights, but in our world, that means everything!Okay, I could seriously go on all day describing all the awesome clubs at my school, but I'll stop there. There's Drama Club, Spanish Club, Robotics Club, Future Teachers of America Club... seriously, so many to choose from. My advice? Don't be scared to join a bunch and figure out what you like. You never know what hidden talents you might discover. Who knows, maybe I'll be a star chef or brilliant scientist one day thanks to the clubs here. A guy can dream, right? Catch you later!。

MyReviewonTheJoyLuckClub[范文模版]第一篇：My Review on The Joy Luck Club[范文模版] My Review on The Joy Luck ClubAfter watching the film The Joy Luck Club, In my opinion ,I think that the two generation of misunderstanding and diaphragm is produced in the cross-cultural context.And this kind of conflict is not only the usually “generation gap” can be explained, it's the cultural conflict between the West and the East.So in this cultural differences and cultural crack, the representatives of American mainstream culture's daughter and the representatives of the Chinese traditional culture's mother must be have a fight for discourse right.But because the backwardness of Chinese modern history of the humble, so Chinese mother always be a “the edge person” in heterogeneous culture.They speak disfluency English to intervention and education of her daughter's life and growth.Show their struggle as well as a challenge to Western hegemony.However the relationship between daughter and mother didn't improve, they become more and more estranged.Because of the silence in cultural conflicts.When the mother is in pain endured generati on “aphasia” ,the girl also imperceptibly repeated his mother's story.Lido Auntie is a distinct personality, cheerful and Frank's mother.She rely on her own strength to escape from an arranged marriage, and to the United States, She entrust to the care of her daughter Waverly high hope.Weverly have a chess talent ,when she win chess championship,her pictre was on the cover of the magazine, the exited mother pulled her daughter all the way to boast.But the girl hate it, so Lido frowned upon, when the girl ask forgivenesstoward her,and want to continue to play chess, Lido said :“You think it is so easy.One day quit, next day play.Everything for you is this way.So smart, so easy, so fast.Not so easy anymore.” the angry word hurt the girl's confidence, she think talent far away from her, and never win again.So her confidence be ruined, and her marriage also in confusion.Due to high expectations, or incomplete personality affected on their daughter, daughters' heart become twisted, and be weak in mind.Lucky mothers are aware of their fault , so she held out her hand to her daughters , and encourage them to.Rose, Anmei's daughter.Won a distinguished family's boy's love in school.But after marriage, she dropped out of school for her husband and family, everything starting from her husband's request, until lost the love, and to divorce.Finally, in her mother's encouragement, she said her own thoughts, her adorable awake self-consciousness, helped her husband to find her, they back together.Lina, Yingying's daughter.take strict AA life with her husband, this king of life are destroy Lina's dignity.And also make her mother reminded of her life, been philandering husband called bitch, that kind of damage make she to drown her own child in accidental, and never forgot it, the wound unhealed all life.So the mother told her daughter ,you are worthy to be respected,leaveing he,you will find another people who would cherish you, and you will get the happiness.The relationship between mother and daughter, opposition and harmony are exist.In their childhood, excessive demands make the damage to the girls, In adulthood, the mother use their own life experience to solve her daughter's heart, help them to know themselves, understand themselves, build confidence.The two generations, the past and the present, between East and West is mutual connection and inseparable.Theidentity between mother and daughter is actually on the two kinds of Chinese and Western cultural identity.As Sayyid once said:“all cultures have you have me,I have you, no one culture is isolated pure, all cultures are hybrid”.。

Mr. GoodI could鈥檝e kicked myself for chasing a woman bass player all the way to Cincinnati: a month after I got there, I left her for a twenty-three-year-old grocery clerk. A few weeks later that was over, too, and I didn鈥檛 even have money for a bus ticket back to Dallas. I hadn鈥檛 been able to find a gig since I鈥檇 moved.I tried finding work in a music store, and then started applying anywhere and everywhere鈥攆ast food, motels, convenience stores鈥攁nd finally to stay out of a homeless shelter I had to pawn the only one of my guitars worth much, a 1965 Gibson Hummingbird. I stayed drunk for two days. Then I started working day labor so I could get it back. I was mixing mortar and carrying bricks, which I hated because it messed with my hands. The second week I smashed a thumbnail.Everyday I went to the pawnshop to make sure the guitar was still there. The owner looked like a vaguely degenerate antique dealer in a movie. He wore a vest.Every morning I got up at five and made the half-hour walk to the temp service, a trailer set up in a gravel lot. The place looked like a used car dealership without any cars and the owner was a big thick guy named Purcell who was quick to let you know he was retired Navy. The whole set up was pretty shady. Pay was always in cash and you had to get there before dawn to get a job. Except for me the crowd was all Mexican, illegals I鈥檓pretty sure. They stayed to themselves, so I鈥檇 stand alone while we waited for Purcell to show up and smoke and drink coffee and think about how I was going to smash the guitar over a low brick wall once I got it back. My father gave it to me when I was eighteen. One afternoon, 1979, when my high school let out hewas in the parking lot sitting on the hood of an old Lincoln he鈥檇 parked sideways across five spaces. You couldn鈥檛 miss him any way you looked. He was dressed in the same outfit Hank Williams was buried in. I hadn鈥檛heard from him for seven years.I told my friends I was supposed to meet with a teacher and went back inside and hid in the bathroom鈥擨 figured if I waited long enough he鈥檇 leave. The janitor ran me out of there so I wouldn鈥檛 interfere with his drinking. I killed some time walking the halls, then fooling at my locker. Finally the assistant principal who was locking up made me leave.He was still outside. It was deserted now. He smiled and waved."Thought that was you I saw," he said. "Figured I鈥檇 wait."I nodded. I didn鈥檛 know what to say."I hear you鈥檙 e getting ready to be a high school graduate," he said.I nodded again."That鈥檚 real good." He cocked his head, looking at me and smiling. "Your grandma don鈥檛 mind your hair being that long?""She hasn鈥檛 said anything.""First time I came in with a duck tail she chased me with the scissors." He took a pack of cigarettes from his inside coat pocket and rapped it on his knee and a single cigarette jumped halfway out, and if he hadn鈥檛 been my father that would鈥檝e been cool as hell.He wanted to go get a hamburger. The inside of the Lincoln smelled like a strip club at six AM. The radio was missing. I reminded him how to get to McKenna鈥檚, a place that had curb service. After we got our drinks he poured part of his Coke outthe window and filled it back up from a pint of bourbon he pulled from under the seat. He offered me the bottle but I shook my head."Don鈥檛 drink?" he asked.I shrugged.He nodded. "Don鈥檛 seem to talk, either."After seven years that crawled all over me. I turned away and stared out my window."Ah son," he said, "I know, I know. I . . . well," and then I heard his cup slosh. I was looking out at a station wagon where a woman was handing around soft serve cones to her kids. A little boy in the backseat was looking back at me."Your grandma tells me you鈥檙e playing now," he said."Yeah." I still didn鈥檛 look at him."What鈥檙e you doing?"I was in a bad cover band that played sock hops and dances at country clubs. I鈥檇been listening to Earl Klugh and Wes Montgomery, too, trying some of that out."Not much," I said.The boy pulled his nose up with his thumb and grinned. He had braces. His mother had on a green scarf."I guess you don鈥檛 go in for Bob Wills and such," he said."No," I said."Not many do anymore," he said. "That鈥檚 why this car鈥檚 such a piece of shit."Then neither of us said anything. A long minute passed, then another. The little boy kept making faces between licks of his cone. Then the mother caught him. After a glance at me, she jerked him around by the collar.I heard him splash bourbon into his cup again.Then the car hop brought the tray with the food and hung it on his window and I felt like I could finally turn around."Anything else?" she asked. She was bleach blond and pudgy 鈥擨 recognized her from school a couple years back but didn鈥檛 know her. She had on white jeans and a pink shirt with the tails tied into a knot below her breasts. When you looked at her all you saw was stomach."You all got any ice cream left in there?" he said."Sure," she said."Then get you one and charge it on my ticket. Girl who looks sweet as cake needs some ice cream to go with her."She giggled."Or maybe you want a drink of this special Co鈥?Cola instead?" he asked.She leered, looked left and then right. "Sure," she said. He handed her the cup and she ducked her head and took a drink."When they let you off here?" he said."Not soon enough," she said. "The horse鈥檚 ass that runs the place keeps us here half the night.""Well, we鈥檙e big boys," he said. "We get to stay up late."I opened my door and got out. He looked around. "Hey, where you going?"I shut the door. My eyes met the girl鈥檚 over the roof of the car, then I ducked my head in the window. "I鈥檝e got to go," I said. "I鈥檒l see you," and I started away from the car."Hey!" he yelled.But I didn鈥檛 turn around. He yelled a couple more times but I kept going. When I was far enough away I looked back. The girl was still standing at the Lincoln.I was hoping he鈥檇 be waiting outside the house when Igot home. He wasn鈥檛.A week later a notice came from Martin鈥檚 Drugs saying I had a Trailways package. It was a cardboard box wrapped in brown butcher鈥檚 paper and tied with string, light to carry but about the size of Shakespeare鈥檚coffin. When I got it home and opened it I found a new calfskin guitar case packed in newspaper and inside that was the Hummingbird. The guitar was in good shape, but the words Mr Good were scratched in tall letters on the back of the body. In the bottom of the case was a note:SonI wont you to have this a fine instrumint i bought it new in 1965. Maybe somday we can play together i can teech you some Bob wills. The only thing about it is i got no idee how the writing got on the back i woke up in a motel in oddessa tex 8 yeer ago and it was almost nite and their it was this is stil a good guitar.DadI hadn鈥檛 heard from him since. If he was alive he鈥檇 be sixty-three, and the older I got the more I wished I could see him. We鈥檇 have something to talk about now that I鈥檇 made every mistake he had.Once I was living with a psychologist and she started ribbing me after she saw how I took such good care of the Gibson. Better take Mr. Good to soccer practice, she鈥檇 say, or Mr. Good says he wants to order Chinese. If she hadn鈥檛 been so good-looking I wouldn鈥檛 have put up with her鈥攕he鈥檇 come home after counseling all day and make astrology charts on her clients and smoke pot. She finally drank enough coffee one morning to think to ask how I got the guitar. I told her the story about my dad."That鈥檚 cute," she said.I just stared at her."What is it?" she said.I shook my head."No, what is it?" she asked, almost hysterical."Nothing," I said. "Just looking at your hair."* * *It was cold. I was in Purcell鈥檚 lot, smoking, drinking coffee, half-listening to the Spanish talk all around me. I had seven hundred dollars in my socks鈥攁fter getting paid today I鈥檇have enough to get the Gibson back, and after Monday and Tuesday I鈥檇have enough to go back to Dallas鈥攁nd then suddenly an angry shout came from behind the trailer, then another. The lot quickly fell silent. Then the Spanish started up again and most of the men walked over and looked behind the trailer but as soon they did they started leaving, some running, and in about two minutes the place was deserted except for me.I kept watching the trailer, about fifteen yards away. Nothing.I couldn鈥檛 hear anything either but the hum of the arc lights. I didn鈥檛 know what to do. I was kind of scared, but I had to try to work that day, no matter what, so I decided to stay where I was and wait for Purcell to show up. I started to light another cigarette, then footsteps sounded on the gravel and a man staggered around the side of the trailer. He was clutching his side and when he saw me he said something in Spanish. He was big, at least three hundred pounds, and looked like a bear coming toward me. Then he just stopped and stood there. I could hear his breathing. He sank to his knees like a camel sitting down and fell over.For about a hundred and fifty dollars I would鈥檝e left. But there weren鈥檛 any philanthropists in the vicinity. I went over tohim. He had rolled onto his back and when he saw me standing over him he started talking in Spanish. He had a rip in the side of his thin jacket and there were dark stains around it. I took off my denim coat and kneeled down, and when he saw what I was doing he moved his hands and let me use the coat as a compress. Some warm blood soaked into the denim, but not much. He seemed more panicked than anything. He just kept on jabbering.Then I heard other voices. Two Mexicans were standing a few yards away, at the edge of the light."Habla ingles?" I called out."No much, no much," the taller of the two said.I got him to hold the jacket in place and right away he and the injured man started talking, arguing it sounded like. I ran the three blocks to the store where I made a point of buying my coffee every morning because I liked the way the clerk looked. I asked her to call 911."Sorry, the phone鈥檚 not public," she said."Are you kidding?" I said.She shook her head. "That鈥檚 the rule.""But a guy鈥檚 been knifed or something."She hesitated, then looked at her watch, a pink thing the size of a coaster. "My manager鈥檚 due here any minute now and he says you can鈥檛 let the phone thing get started or people鈥檒l be asking to use it all the time." She looked over my shoulder. "Could you move, please?"I stepped over but stayed at the counter and an old black guy in a baseball cap moved up and gave her numbers for a lottery ticket."So you鈥檙e not going to call?" I said."No," she said.I went outside and picked up the receiver on the pay phone on the side of the building and put it to my ear even though I knew it was dead. I asked two people going into the store if they had cell phones鈥攂oth shook their heads, though one had his in a holster on his belt. Then I ran back to the temp service because there wasn鈥檛 another payphone nearby and I didn鈥檛 know what else to do.Purcell was there. He had his headlights directed onto the scene and he stood in their beams next to the injured man and the two Mexicans who were squatting over him. The shorter one, who I could now see was an older man, was crying."I can鈥檛 have this kind of helling going on here," Purcell was saying."Mr. Purcell," I said.He jerked his head around and squinted into the headlights. "Hey, who鈥檚 there?" He recognized me. "So did you see what happened here?""No. I just tried to call an ambulance but I couldn鈥檛 find a phone."He waved like he was shooing a fly. "I checked him, he doesn 鈥檛 need one. It鈥檇 be a waste of the taxpayers鈥?money. All he鈥檚 got is a little lard sliced off." Then he put his hands on his hips and stared down at the man. He had on a white short sleeve shirt and a dark tie; I had never seen him in a coat, no matter the temperature. "Hey," he said loudly and all three Mexicans looked up at him and he spoke to them in broken Spanish. The tall one holding my jacket answered.According to Purcell鈥檚 translation: the two Mexicans who had stayed were from the same town in Mexico as the injured man, and the older one was his uncle or cousin or something.Two days ago the tall Mexican had heard that the injured man鈥攚ho looked at least thirty鈥攈ad gotten someone鈥檚 teenage daughter pregnant. The tall Mexican wasn鈥檛 sure who the girl was, but he鈥檇 heard there鈥檇 been a blow up with her father."I didn鈥檛 think there was anybody left who cared about that," Purcell said. He took out a pack of Juicy Fruit and put a stick in his mouth. He stared down at the man, his face a brown study.I crossed my arms and hugged myself. I was freezing."This has implications," Purcell said."We should probably call an ambulance," I said."We might do that," he said. "But we鈥檝e got to move him off this property first."I didn鈥檛 say anything, but Purcell jerked his head around like I had."Just because this pussel-gut decides to tap some Mexican cheerleader, I should have to pay double and triple on my liability insurance? And as for the police," he said, "what鈥檇 you think: Columbo鈥檚 gonna show up here at dawn?" He pulled a wallet-on-a-chain out of his back pocket and started speaking Spanish again. When he finished all three Mexicans nodded. The old one wiped his eyes with the back of his hand. Then Purcell took out two fifty-dollar bills and handed one to each of the two squatting men. They both spoke to the injured man, patted him on the shoulder, then stood up and left. Purcell bent over the injured man and slipped two bills into his pants pocket. He spoke to him and the man answered. Purcell replied, his voice angry. The man shook his head back and forth on the ground. Purcell started cursing in English. He turned to me, "Sack of shit says he can鈥檛 get up.""Huh," I said.Purcell gave the man a little kick in the hip and said something in Spanish. Then he grabbed the man鈥檚 arm and tried to haul him up. He didn鈥檛 budge. He was dead weight. Purcell dropped his arm. "All right," he said, "you get his shoulders and I鈥檒l get his legs," and he stepped around the man to his feet. I didn鈥檛 move.He waved. "Come on, let鈥檚 go.""That鈥檚 my coat there," I pointed."Yeah? So?" he said."It鈥檚 ruined," I said.His expression deadened as he figured it out, which took about two seconds. He shook his head and cursed again. He took out his wallet and handed over a fifty."I need a hundred more," I said.If either of us had been smoking the whole block would鈥檝e exploded. "Listen," he said, "I wouldn鈥檛 be paying anybody anything if I could speak enough Spanish to make these tacos understand if they don鈥檛 do what I say I鈥檒l tell the police whatever I want. But even though you鈥檙e a goddamn briar you understand me, don鈥檛 you?""The police might hassle me on your sayso," I said, "but that 鈥檚 about all they could do. And think about it. If I do end up talking to them, I鈥檓 such a briar I might let it slip how you run a straight cash business."He turned his back to me and started muttering. He stayed that way at least a half-minute. Then he turned back around holding out five twenties. His mouth was very tight.Lifting the man was like picking up one end of a rowboat full of water, if you鈥檝e ever done that. We carried him ten yards, rested, then went the last ten yards to the street. Purcell droppedthe man鈥檚feet and stayed bent over with his hands on his knees, huffing and puffing. He glanced up at me, then unhooked his key ring from his belt and tossed it and it hit the sidewalk right in front of me and I had to do a skip to keep it from hitting my feet. "Move my car up to the trailer," he said.I looked at the keys, then at him. "What?" I said."Do it, or I鈥檒l tell the cops you robbed me." He took his cell phone out of his back pocket."Why do you want me to do it?" I said."Just because I do," he said."Forget you," I said."All right," he said and punched a button on the phone, and that鈥檚 when I thought of the seven hundred dollars in my socks and how great it would look on a guy without a coat.The car was a Cadillac in name only. The last time it looked good Eddie Murphy was funny. I slid under the wheel, but didn 鈥檛 close the door so the rooflight would stay on and I could find things. The seat was too far up for me to fit my feet to the pedals, so I reached down to find the lever and my hand hit a bottle under the seat. It was a half-pint of Jack Daniels and all that was empty was the neck. I unscrewed the cap, bent over like I鈥檇 dropped the keys and took a drink, then sat up again. The glove box was missing its door, a cigar with an inch of dead ash was in the ashtray, a single porno playing card was in the passenger seat, a woman who looked like she was waiting for surgery to begin. I turned the card over: seven of clubs. I bent over and took another drink. I was thinking of the last time I saw my father鈥攐ne of these old boats always did that.I discovered the seat wouldn鈥檛 move, so I managed to get situated with my legs splayed out on either side of the steeringwheel. I shut the door, then pulled the car up in front of the trailer and cut the engine and the lights. I stuck the half-pint down the front of my pants. Then I looked in the rearview mirror: Purcell was still at the curb, under a streetlight, standing over the injured man talking and gesturing. It looked like he was haranguing a corpse.I leaned over to get at my pants pocket and took out the hundred and fifty and put it on the dash behind the steering wheel. I just couldn鈥檛abide the idea of having to think of Purcell everytime I played the Gibson. I would鈥檝e rather seen it in the hands of Campfire Girls.The pawn shop opened a half-hour before the liquor stores. I鈥檇 been waiting in a coffee shop across the street. I had the Gibson鈥檚 empty calfskin case and a Epiphone in its case. I was going to pawn the Epi which would give me the last fifty I needed to get the Gibson back, plus another sixty or seventy. That much would get me to Shreveport, and I figured I knew enough people in Dallas I could find someone who鈥檇 drive out and get me.I went in the pawn shop, the bell ringing over my head, and right away I noticed the Gibson wasn鈥檛 on its stand in the line of guitars that sat on a high shelf in the back. Holding the two cases I suddenly felt like an idiot in a Norman Rockwell painting. The empty one felt light enough to throw through the display window.The owner was still wearing his pea coat and was at the back of the long shotgun room behind a line of jewelry cases to my left. He came up front."It鈥檚 gone," he said. "Girl bought it last night not long after you came in."I set down the guitar cases."She paid cash so I don鈥檛 know who she was," he said.I asked him what she looked like."I wouldn鈥檛kick her out of bed for eating crackers," he said.I kept looking at him. I couldn鈥檛 believe he had said that. Then he gave a police blotter description of the girl鈥攜oung, long brown hair, skinny, pale, wearing jeans and a green jacket, said he wouldn鈥檛call her pretty exactly. I asked him, if she came back in, to give her my name and the place where I roomed and to tell her I鈥檇 pay to get the Gibson back. I said I鈥檇 pay him, too, for doing that."Once I tell her, you got no reason to pay me," he said."That鈥檚 true," I said."A twenty ought to take care of it," he said.I felt so beat I didn鈥檛 argue. I squatted down and lifted my pants leg to get at my sock. The bell rang and a guy in a dirty overcoat and came in and set down a kit bag and started pulling out barber tools. I stood up and the owner took my twenty. I picked up my guitar cases and left.Walking down the street, freezing, I realized I could take the money I had and buy a coat and a bus ticket and be back in Dallas by midnight or I could stay in Cincinnati and buy a coat and try to find the Gibson. I thought about it three seconds and decided to stay.I can play guitar pretty well. And I鈥檝e spent twenty years worth of afternoons in libraries killing time before gigs so I know the difference between Augustine of Hippo and all the other Augustines and I know that even if we do come up with a unified field theory it isn鈥檛 going to change a damn thing. But other than that, I wouldn鈥檛 take my own advice about anything.。
