Mis Match Recommendation
I really did enjoy the book Mis Match. I liked about it was the Japanese and the Chinese culture. Since I hosted a Japanese foreign exchange student, I liked the differences from America to Japan. It was cool to see what was so different between the two cultures. Just because Andy’s heritage was Japanese, didn’t mean that Japan was like going home to him. He actually thought it was very different. Another feature was it more of a romance book, so if you like romance then you would most likely enjoy it. It had an easy love surrounded by many complications. If you’re a boy you probably wouldn’t like the book. Even though it’s from a girl and guys point of view. If you’re a girl, you most likely like it. The fight for love was sweet. I wouldn’t say it’s that mushy though. To me Andy and Sue’s families had high standards that they both needed to meet. Like Grandma Mei always asked if she did her writing. Sue was expected to do hours of Chinese writing, but sometimes she got away without doing it. Her family is expected to do lots of kitchen help. In my house that would never happen. Andy did know some Japanese, but he thought it was never enough to talk fluent. To me, learning a foreign language would be fun. I would never like to be forced to do it though. Just learn when I please. If you are interested in different cultures, this book has a good amount of it. Mis Match doesn’t over do it, because if it did, nobody would understand the book. That’s one of the things that make this book unique. In one of the parts of the book I didn’t like though, but this had nothing to do with the author. When Andy tried to win Haruko’s respect, I thought he should just stop trying, why would it matter? He kept going on and on about it. I was starting to think he liked her, and was cheating on Sue. It turns out he never wanted to give up the fight for something, no matter how hard and impossible it was. I think that should be my motto now. Overall I loved the book; I would defiantly recommend that you should read it.

Memoir
I remember when I was 11, and I went to waterpark of America. When I walked in, and the smell of clorine splashed right in my face. I walked over to the right, and there was this glass wall when you looked through the glass. The first thing i notice is the supper huge waterslides! I went swimming all afternoon. The feeling of going down the slides was this rush of excitment everytime. When I'd go down the slides I'd think, "how can it get better then this?"
I was wrong, At the end of the green slides i hit my head and got a bruise the size of a tomato. After I was done i was very thristy. Later that night I found a luguage cart and rode on it all the way to my room.
