The Wangs Vs. World

Decent Essays
The Wangs vs. World was a title that I was especially looking forward to this fall as it centres on an Asian American family embarking on a road trip after the patriarch, Charles Wang loses his fortune. Unfortunately my unfair expectations of this book coupled with all the buzz surrounding it lead The Wangs vs. World to be a bit of a disappointment for me. For instance, this book was marketing as being hilarious and yet I seldom found myself laughing. Additionally the majority of the book seemed to drag on forever and it wasn't until near the conclusion that the pacing sped up immensely. Speaking of the ending, without spoiling too much I will say that it came about in a rather unexpected way. And it definitely made me wonder if things were

    * This book was sent to me in exchange for an honest review I'm sad to say that this is my first 3 star rating for a CoHo book. After falling in love with It Ends With Us, and crying for days after it was over, I was excited and nervous to read yet another emotional Colleen Hoover book. Without Merit didn't have much of a description, so needless to say I was going into this book pretty blindly. Once I finished the 1st chapter, I was already hit with some crazy news, which ultimately led into a story that I was not expecting.…

    The two readings I decided to examine are; Online Freedom Will Depend on Deeper Forms of Web Literacy, by Navneet Alang and Justice and Journalism, by Victor Chen. Both of which assess the affects that the media or technology has had on society. Each author in their own unique way has convinced me that their topics are both concerning matters. Alang and Chen both use reasonable and valid facts or evidence that support their point of view, Chen incorporated a study done by J. Roberts and A. Doob, while Alang used a personal experience to relate to readers. Firstly, Alang and Chen included facts to support their opinion and point of view throughout each piece of writing.…

    It is logical to think that the end of a book, a story, or a movie, is the main idea and author’s thoughts on everything that took place before. For example, if in a fairy tale a woman who has always been dirty ends up with all her furniture and household goods running away from her, we know: being dirty is bad, and it will lead you to lose things you like. However, is many works, the ending is more complicated than it is in others; some of them can be open for interpretation, or simply to be controversial. A Japanese film Naniwa Elegy belongs to that category – the final scene where protagonist walks into the screen has been a subject of debates (Mori). For some viewers the protagonist has fallen for money and became miserable, for others…
