Chinese Cinderella: The True Story of an Unwanted Daughter |
Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Summary: I can relate to the Author
Comments: As an Asian American whose father remarried I can relate to the Author. A wicked step-mother and2wicked step-sisters and a father who hated me because my mother left him. I am an unwanted child. I will never forget these words as long as I live and I quote my step-mother "You may have not been an accident; however you are certainly a mistake".
This story is honestly inspiring and conveys so much more than I could have possible have retold about my own life. As a 33 year old woman with2daughters, I will continuously give them the encouragement that I lacked, inspiration I craved, and all the dreams they can reach-e single1of those dreams. The Author has true conviction and fortitude far beyond her age.
"...and to all unwanted children, in the hope that will persist to do their best in the face of hopelessness, to believe in the end their spirit will prevail, and to nurture their childhood traumas into the source of courage, creativity, and compassion".--Adeline Yen Mah

Summary: Heartwrenching, enspiring tale of a young girl who was neglected.
Comments: I couldn't put this book down, being 1/2 chinese myself I loved the historical comments found in this book and could relate to some of the coldness shown to her by her family. Favortism runs deep in this book as it does in alot of chinese families as well as american families. I felt sad while reading this book yet her strength and determination was inspiring and so powerful throughout this whole story. A great story for all to read. |

Summary: A girl treated like cinderella
Comments: Chinese Cinderella is a memoir, also known as a story of bra endurance and a strong little girl who goes by the name of Adeline. Adeline ,also known as the Chinese Cinderella, needs to be brave to survive life. she has great endurance when it comes to school. Adeline is a strong character when it comes to her family because they tease and beat her. The setting of Chinese Cinderella was obviously in china. In the middle of the book the Chinese were having a war against the French. Adeline's mother died because of her birth. As a result she was considered "bad luck". Another conflict is she has an evil step mother whom has2kids and treats them like they are the only kids in the house. Her relationship between her and her father sucks1reason is because he does not even know her own birthday.

Summary: Our class just finished this novel
Comments: My 6th grade class just finished reading this novel. The majority of us absolutely loved it. We had great discussions about how Adeline's parents never appreciated what wonderful gifts she had to offer in life. Also- we were all amazed how tragic her life was and her ability to overcome the continual abuse. The major reason why some of my classmates did not enjoy the book was because it was simply too sad. E teacher in middle school should give their students the opportunity to read this work. |
