The Big Read Kick-Off and the Asian Fest on May 1

I’m Getting Excited About The Big Read


We’re reading The Joy Luck Club in May, but I’m reading it now with my class. I find myself reading certain lines repeatedly. For example, how can one read this line (written after Amy Tan writes that June gets mad because her mother refuses to buy her a radio) and not pause?

June’s mom says, “Why do you think you are missing something you never had?” p. 25

Whoa!
