[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Back to the article.  I liked all but the second one. Her point was not particularly well articulated, and her argument was very convoluted.  As far as I can tell, her point is that sometimes people are mean to service workers but I want to work in government.

The first one is a phenomenal writer, though...especially when you consider he's only in high school.[/quote]

Agree, the first was tremendous. I would be so proud to be his mother. [/quote]

i can see why americans love this, but it's kind of offensive toward immigrants. not all immigrants are in awe of a few open books and a new york times. our parents are not necessarily maids and cleaners.[/quote]

So this kid's life experience offends you because it isn't the same as yours?  This is not a fiction essay.  His experiences are not any less valid than yours.[/quote]

no, it doesn't offend me. what is kind of annoying is this arrogant assumption that immigrants are poor and in awe that someone has a newspaper on a table. it feeds into the worse stereotypes of immigrants but it's ok because americans can feel good about themselves for allowing these poor deprived people the chance to live in their country and admire sophistication of their rich people.[/quote]
