American Born Chinese Chapter 4 Summary

The Summary
This chapter starts out with a very hilarious picture of monkeys 'hanging' from a tree. The setting is the monkeys kingdom and tells of how the monkey made two new laws. All monkeys MUST wear shoes and not to bother him. It is during this time that he masters 8 new Kung-Fu disaplines. After comes out of the cave he went into to learn he was given an exaction notice for coming to heaven. He goes to the place...and beats the crap out of every single god to announce his new name, The Great Sage Equal Of Heaven. Then all the gods complain about the Monkey King to the Emissaries of Tze-Yo-Tzuh (TUT), the creator of all. TUT arrives to talk the Monkey King sand he tells him that he is what TUT He created him to be. Monkey then goes on about how he was born of a rock and TUT says he formed him in the rock;monkey says prove it. TUT then tells Monkey King who he is and says you are always in my reach. The monkey then challenges that statement by running away faster than TUTs arm and grow long enough to chatch him. He runs so far he goes out of reality only to find 5 pillars of gold. He writes his name and pees on one and goes back...only to find those were TUTs fingers. After faced with the fact he can't change who he is and refuses to repent he is buried under a mountian of rock until he learns who he is.

The Guts of It
This is my favorite part of the book. TUT to me is like God. When he buries the Monkey King it to me is like how He punishes us so we learn whats right and wrong. But he does it out of love because Monkey King was going to live a hard life. But because of what TUT did he will learn his true self. You will see. Oh yes, you will see - Yoda

American Born Chinese Chapter 3 Summary

The Summary
This a short chapter but he introduced a new character at the same time. So this is a American boy and girl who are studying at the boys house for a test. The boy, who we find out his name is Danny, tries to ask the girl out when his mom makes a very interesting announcement with an odd reaction from Danny. He looked terrified when his mom told him his cousin Chin-Kee is coming all the way from China to their house to spend the week. Ironically, he arrives not a second after she says so...and Murph's law comes back to ruin his life. He creeps out the girl and then says he will go to school with "Cousin Da-Nee". Uh-oh.

The Guts of It
Every person has that embarrassing person that always find a way to ruin it all. We just have to learn to deal with it and make the best of it. Not much to say really.
