"Ribbons" by Laurence Yep illustrates the idea that differences between cultures can lead to misunderstandings and conflict. The story highlights the cultural differences between Stacy, a Chinese-American girl, and her grandmother, Nai-nai, who is from China. Stacy's main cultural influence is her American upbringing, while Nai-nai values traditional Chinese customs and beliefs. This clash can be seen when Stacy tries to assert her independence by refusing to learn Chinese, causing tension between her and Nai-nai. Stacy's reaction to her grandmother is initially one of frustration and reluctance to understand her culture. However, as the story progresses, Stacy begins to see the importance of embracing her Chinese heritage and appreciating her grandmother's customs. The turning point in their relationship occurs when Stacy discovers the significance of the red ribbons Nai-nai tied to her belongings. In an act of understanding and respect, Stacy uses red ribbon to mark her grandmother's personal items as well. This gesture shows a willingness to bridge the cultural gap and is a stepping stone towards resolving their differences. By the end of the story, Stacy gains a new perspective on cultural differences and realizes the value in preserving traditions. The story teaches readers that misunderstandings can arise from cultural differences, but with empathy, respect, and open-mindedness, these differences can be bridged, leading to acceptance and harmony.
That’s YOUR assignment. No one will write it for you. Do you have questions about this?
Writeacher's restatements should have made your assignment easier to understand.
One of the biggest mistakes students make in writing an assignment like this is when they don't address EVERY part of the assignment. You must get in the habit of taking each assignment apart, as I did above, to make sure you don't skip anything.
Also, you're the one who has read this work (I hope you have, anyway). I know I haven't, and I take it others haven't either, or someone else would have replied.
Do your best. Go get an A!
