In this lively discussion-based class, learners will face powerful themes including prejudice, racism, persistence, courage, staying true to oneself,  following your passion, fighting non-violently through injustice and many more . This novel is based through plots of realistic fiction and includes items such as World Cup Soccer (Chineses vs. American women), trying to purchase a house, making a deal with a highly acclaimed restaurant for Hank's recipe of burgers and more while the book also includes references to pop culture.  The diverse cast includes people of numerous cultures; Chinese, Chinese American, Mexican, Mexican American, African, African American.
