Prewriting Essay 2

Amy's article seems to be farfetched and too broad in how she tries to compare herself with the entire chinese mother population. Obviously not every single family is like that, so for her to make everything seem black and white for westerners and her is an unsupportive argument. It seems to me that she is ranting about her beliefs more than actually providing a strong argument with support. The lack of support includes not saying how her children feel about how they are treated and how she does not acknowledge a common medium between the two cultures. Something I would like to research on this topic is how much of a childhood is taken away from the child, and how it will affect them later on in life. Also, it would be interesting to see if any of the children break their parent's beliefs when they become older and have children themselves. Things that shocked me in this article include how her children never saw friends, never had sleepovers, and that an A- on a test would cause the parent to buy practice tests for their children.   This article has many stereotypes that I would like to look at more closely.
