“america was where all my mother's hopes lay. she had come here in 1949 after losing everything in china: her mother and father, her family home, her first husband, and two daughters, twin baby girls. but she never looked back with regret. there were so many ways for things to get better.”
“in all of my imaginings, i was filled with a sense that i would soon become perfect. my mother and father would adore me. i would be beyond reproach. i would never feel the need to sulk for anything.”
“before going to bed that night, i looked in the mirror above the bathroom sink and when i saw only my face staring back—and that it would always be this ordinary face—i began to cry. such a sad, ugly girl! i made high-pitched noises like a crazed animal, trying to scratch out the face in the mirror.”
“my mother slapped me. ‘who ask you be genius? ’ she shouted. ‘only ask you be your best. for you sake. you think i want you to be genius? hnnh! what for! who ask you! ’
“‘so ungrateful,’ i heard her mutter in chinese, ‘if she had as much talent as she has temper, she would be famous now.’”
“so maybe i never really gave myself a fair chance. i did pick up the basics pretty quickly, and i might have become a good pianist at that young age. but i was so determined not to try, not to be anybody different that i learned to play only the most ear-splitting preludes, the most discordant hymns.”

Read the passage from animal farm. one sunday morning squealer announced that the hens, who had just come in to lay again, must surrender their eggs. napoleon had accepted, through whymper, a contract for four hundred eggs a week. the price of these would pay for enough grain and meal to keep the farm going till summer came on and conditions were easier. when the hens heard this, they raised a terrible outcry. they had been warned earlier that this sacrifice might be necessary, but had not believed that it would really happen. they were just getting their clutches ready for the spring sitting, and they protested that to take the eggs away now was murder. for the first time since the expulsion of jones, there was something resembling a rebellion. led by three young black minorca pullets, the hens made a determined effort to thwart napoleon's wishes. their method was to fly up to the rafters and there lay their eggs, which smashed to pieces on the floor. napoleon acted swiftly and ruthlessly. he ordered the hens' rations to be stopped, and decreed that any animal giving so much as a grain of corn to a hen should be punished by death. the dogs saw to it that these orders were carried out. for five days the hens held out, then they capitulated and went back to their nesting boxes. nine hens had died in the meantime. their bodies were buried in the orchard, and it was given out that they had died of coccidiosis. whymper heard nothing of this affair, and the eggs were duly delivered, a grocer's van driving up to the farm once a week to take them away. which detail from the passage supports the claim that this is an allegory for the great purge? the hens holding out for five days but capitulating the eggs being delivered to the grocer the protesting hens being intentionally starved coccidiosis spreading on the farm
