Using
Quotation:
Rosa Parks,
a civil rights activist, once said,
“racism is still with us. But it is up to us to prepare our children for what they have to meet, and, hopefully, we shall overcome.” Indeed, Liang in “The Jade Peony” represents children of immigrants that need to be prepared for the world they live in. Liang faces rejection and racism throughout her young life and struggles to overcome it.

Anecdote:
a brief story that makes a point.
When I was
6, I moved to Canada from China. I felt very alone and rejected.
My
grandparents immigrated from Austria in 1936, escaping the Nazis in their
homeland.
Question:
Was Vancouver always a welcoming city to immigrants?
