Jason Gustafson Mrs. Gauthier ELA2: Pre-AP 17 September 2015 To Stay or to Be Shortly Forgotten? Balzac and the Little Chinese Seamstress written by Dai Sijie should continue to be included in the tenth grade curriculum since it investigates different cultures, has realistic, well-developed characters, and features real world problems. Looking to expand the horizons of tenth graders, the novel is set in China upon a remote mountain during the Chinese Cultural Revolution and carries an unfamiliar essence. Sijie describes the land, "Looking up at the vertiginous slopes all around me, I could just make out a foot path rising from the shadowy fissures in the clip towards the sky, where it seemed to melt into the misty air" (12).

In addition, Sijie lets his readers…
