There were something that influences me such as the fast food and fad because
fast food gave us unhealthy body and the clothes in U.S. were not fashion. I have been eaten so many fast food in United States because there are many fast food around the U.S. When I went to elementary school and high school in America I
always ate fast food and sometime I gave to other people or throw in garbage
can. In addition, when I brought the clothes in United States but my friends who
are in China would said I am out of fashion. Because they have been wore
short skirt and short t-shirt those clothing make them look very fashion.

This was about America and Chinese culture. The United State’s map that is
where I live now and the China’s map was my home country. The images I
chose that are cheeseburgers, French fries and Chinese food. Many people
like those food because it smell good and yummy. The foods are tasted good
then they will come back again. Also, I chose something that I could share or
chat with my friends and family around the United States and China. I use
Facebook and Twitter to chat or share with my friend who is in U.S., and I use
QQ and WeChat to chat with them in China. Also, in United States, those are
very helpful and easy for me to share with my friends and family. In addition, I
chose some famous instruments that we use in our life. I like the music that from
the instrument. Also, I like to play Chinese chess with people, but U.S. Chess are different. The paper cutting is difficult to people who not use to but it is very
popular during the Chinese New Year. Finally, I chose wedding. Chinese wedding has many different things to do and American wedding is easy than Chinese
wedding. All of the images mean so much to me and it is helpful and different of
interesting to myself.
I picked “Home at Last” because in this reading the author moved many times
from country to another country. When he was two years old, he left the country
because of the civil war. The author moved so many times, so he did not know
about what culture he is and where he came from. He lost his culture in his life.
I learned that people should not move many times around the world because
every time I move I will lost some of cultures. If I go to a new place, then I will lose some of my own country’s culture. I think a person can not learn all cultures
identity in the world. When I moved to Chicago, I did not think about moving
to this country can meet new friends, learning new language, and good cultures
or environment.

My favorite song is “Please Remember Me”. This song was about a man who is
broke up with girlfriend or wife, and they also gave a change to each other to get a better life. This song has an album that called “A Place in the Sun” in 1999 and
it sold 3 million albums. The co-written are Rodney Crowell and Will Jennings in this song “Please Remember Me”. When I hear this song, I feel this song is happy. The singer is Tim McGraw.
Tim McGraw born on May 1, 1967 in Delhi, Louisiana. He was a singer and actor at the same time. Tim McGraw also has a nickname on Hollywood “Walk of
Fame”. I like to listen country music. Country music is American popular music
that originated in Southern United States in Atlanta, Georgia. There are six
generations in the country music, and the first generation was in the early 1920.
In “Blue Jasmine”, the director was Woody Allen. Jasmine Francis (Cate
Blanchett) was a rich woman and she always wore some fancy clothes and she
had a lot of money. Hal Francis (Alec Baldwin) was a bad guy. Jasmine took a
flight to her sister’s house in Los Angeles, and she started her new life. Ginger
(Sally Hawkins) was Jasmine‘s sister but they didn’t contact with each other very often. Jasmine always showed Ginger that she owned a big house. Jasmine
wanted to go back to school and got a computer designer degree, at the same
time, she got a job at the dentist office. She had many pressure in the dentist
office because it was very busy and she didn’t how to handle. Jasmine and
Ginger had a big quarrel. However, Jasmine got sick during that time. Jasmine
started talking to herself about something that have been pass and she started
taking medicine. When she went to the party, there was a man who is interesting on her and wanted to fall in love with her. After the man found out she already
have husband, he want to end the relationship with her. Finally, Jasmine
knew everything about her husband Hal. She knew his husband loved many
different women at the same time. Jasmine can not control herself when her
husband told her that he fell in love with Lisette. She was very angry about it, and she called FBI because Hal was a lie and arrested to jail. Jasmine got crazy and
only talking to herself.

The most surprising in the reading: “An Expert’s Theory of Food Television’s
Appeal”. This reading is about many men watching the cooking show, and when
they watch it, they will feel relax. One of the man was around twenty years old.
He just watched the cooking show, but he did not like to cook after watched it.
I always think people who watching the cooking show because they trying to
learn and cook different food and get a different taste of same food. When you
learn something, you should show it to people that what you learned. If you
don’t try to cook, then you will never know how to cook. In addition, people in the
reading, they didn’t have the habit of eating dinner together with their family. In
my country, China, people like to eat with their family, so everyone can share their ideas, happiest and many things when people eating together.

I did this project with a group and we had to visit a place that was in downtown Harold Washington Library. We conducted two
interviews with people who are visiting Harold Washington Library. The interviews were not hard
because we just asked questions from the paper. Also, we made a PowerPoint for this project, the
architecture was very beautiful and amazing because there are many pattern that decided outside
of walls. Harold Washington Library is near red, pink, orange, brown, green line trains stations and
buses stops. In addition, there were a pretty and big rented place for people who want a good place
for party such as wedding party, social functions. Also, there are Harold Washington Archives and
Collection. There were a quiet place for people who like to study in the library. This is a hugest
library I have ever seen.
