Book question???

August 11, 2012 / / 1 Comment

Question by David H: Book question???
I don’t know how many people have read the book River Town: Two Years on the Yangtze, but if anyone has can you please give me as much information as possible, THANK YOU

Best answer:

Answer by norseheathen
In the heart of China’s Sichuan province, amid the terraced hills of the Yangtze River valley, lies the remote town of Fuling. Like many other small cities in this ever-evolving country, Fuling is heading down a new path of change and growth, which came into remarkably sharp focus when Peter Hessler arrived as a Peace Corps volunteer, marking the first time in more than half a century that the city had an American resident. Hessler taught English and American literature at the local college, but it was his students who taught him about the complex processes of understanding that take place when one is immersed in a radically different society.

Poignant, thoughtful, funny, and enormously compelling, River Town is an unforgettable portrait of a city that is seeking to understand both what it was and what it someday will be.

Question by : Help! Question??!! :)?
what do you think would be a good age to wear makeup? 🙂
i want to wear it for my eight grade graduation and cruise, but i dont know how to ask my mom…
heres some background-
im asian, and have VERY strict parents. They rarely buy me clothes, (so i have about 5 shirts i can actually wear, no skirts/dresses, some old flare jeans) i also want a dress, so i dont have to wear jeans and a tshirt
its not a finacial problem(seeing as the our family sends back 40000 a year to china to help our relatives)
and one time i was at a friends sleepover and she put a bit of mascara on me, and when i came home the next day, a bit of it was smeared under my eye
my parents asked what that was, and i lied, saying it was war paint or something( cause they would flip it they knew it was makeup)
but they found out eventually
they werent that mad, but i was super embarrased cause they were laughing, and they told it to all thier friends later
i have to get a’s or they get really mad at me for a while
i have to join all the academic clubs at school
🙁

*whew*
so basically i just wanna know, how can i ask my parents if i can wear makeup t omy graduation? (cause my parents and i dont have the best of relations, and even thinking about the idea is embarassing)
thanks for ur help
(and srry about the length)

Best answer:

Answer by Hannah 🙂
I would ask your mom, because she is more likely to understand and what I would say is, “Hey mom, I have graduation coming up, as you know. I was wondering if I may wear a little makeup for it since it is a big event. Also, I only have a few shirts, and a couple pairs of jeans to wear, do you think I could get a dress, since it’s a little formal?” or something along those lines. I asked my mom that way, and she understood. If they weren’t mad about the mascara, I’m sure they’ll be fine, and It’s not embarrassing at all, a lot of girls wear makeup!
