This text tells about the bibliography a life of a woman from his childhood until his adulthood.It is about a journey of life of the writer.It is nearly the same journey told by the writer in the story wrote by Roald Dahl,but Adeline Yen Mah,the writer of the Falling Leaves was telling that her journey of life full of misery,hardship and lack of love from almost everyone including her parents.The journey started when Adeline was still a child and it became worst after her father married a young woman whom became a dictator in the family and try to break the union between her stepchildrens apart.
2. What is the main issue in the text?
The main issue is that the struggling of a little unwanted girl to continue her life in hardship and almost alone and also trying to get a place in her family where she is being loved or even accepted.This is because her father followed too much every single word the her stepmother,Niang told him to do.Even though that her parents did not give her so much attention or even do not love her,she still tried to get their acceptance in the family.She struggle hard to do every single things that her parents wanted her to do even though abandoning what she wanted the most in her life.
3. What quality do you admire or dislike in a character?
What I admire the most is the personality of the main character which is Adeline.She is very hardworking because even so many bad things happened in her life,she never complained much and continue pursuing her studies and even achieving so many great results and rewards.Her obidience to her parents ecpecially to her father and her excelnce in her studies makes her father accepted her even though she does not know the fact until she read her father's original will.She never give up her studies and never give up trying even when nobody was helping her such as when she does not have enough money for the plane to go to America and also she does not rely on anybody when she have a lots of family problems with her first husband.She is very obidient to her parents but still it does not prevent her to stop doing something that she thought was right like when she still helped Tai-Way even her stepmother forbid her to do so.
4. How does the text developt your understanding of the world?
I am living in a happy family free from any worst problem.I never need to encounter any of that yet and I admit that when I encounter any problem,I do not think that I can handle it alone or go through it such Adeline did.Maybe I do not even know what is really a problem because all my life had been a happy one.This text help me realise not all people in the world is as fortunate as me and not everyone is going to be free from problems.We should prepare ourself before we encounter something and make sure that we can pass any challenge that has been placed on us because all of the hardship will make us stronger and more indipendence.I also learned that we should stay on our own feet and never rely too much to other person when we have some problems.
