Ch...i see a grammar issue!(subject-verb agreement.) Chin Kee is the most stereotypical Chinese person: loud, obnoxious, strong accent. When he visits his cousin Danny –– the epitome of White, high school boys: athletic, popular with girls, etc. –– he is completely embarrassed. It is not Chin Kee who is embarrassed, it is Danny who is. A correct way to write the sentence would be: When he visits his cousin Danny –– the epitome of White, high school boys: athletic, popular with girls, etc. –– Danny is completely embarrassed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085111738542750467.post-74555381098016336722012-06-06T09:17:57.265-06:002012-06-06T09:17:57.265-06:00Thanks, Chris.

So I trust that you and other educators will know what's best in deciding what reading materials are appropriate for your school district.<br /><br />Thanks for the comment and addressing the age recommendation! :)Ellennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3085111738542750467.post-84301295144008090902012-04-22T08:08:29.458-06:002012-04-22T08:08:29.458-06:00Sorry, I meant Ellen.
