Introduction This book is to teach you how to use food in grammar rules.

Sometimes we don’t know how to explain the taste of food, and maybe only the taste or maybe something even less. BUT I will change that for you. With my food knowledge, I will also give you a ride to some of the cuisines and how food is made that way. I am no chef, but I may have a tongue of mystery.

Ready?

âž˝About the Author➽   My name is Stacy Yi Hu, a Chinese American born into a lucky family that is open to any culture, and with a family of big eaters. I love to share my knowledge about food and what I think about it. My love for food is inseparable like my family. I hang on to them dearly. It’s one of my hobbies to always try something new either if it’s a new snack that just released to a snack that a grandma or grandpa would eat. Combining with English, I have a better chance to explain about food than just a picture. Hope you enjoy this book. Â

[Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother ]​ BOOK OF WRITING SECTION 5 TEMPLATE AND GUIDELINES PARAGRAPHS Paragraphs​ – ​a group of sentences that together convey a shared purpose structured around the same topic.

Introductory Paragraphs (Introductions) Hook ​(Lead) – can begin with the title ​Anecdotal​ (Brief story to set the mood and lead the reader into the topic) Asian parents are seen as strict people when it comes to their children’s lives. They push their kids to always have A’s, not even an A-. They also must be talented in some kind of musical, artistic, or athletic activity. Their parenting also includes scolding to the point when it’s “encouragement” for them. Western parents are the total opposite, when their child gets a B, they give compliments or real “encouragement”. The comparison is comparable, but what’s right and what’s wrong really depends on the kids.

16

​ uery Based​ (Question that brings the reader to the topic - avoid second Q person POV “you”) ​Are Asian Parents better than Western Parents when it comes to controlling their kids’ future?

Thesis Statements​ (the purpose of a piece of writing – usually one sentence in length, but can be longer depending on the purpose – must be something that is arguable) Assertion​ (claim - a subject + a “so what” about the subject) ​Asian parents aren’t as strict as you think when it comes to personal relationships.

Fact​ (empirically verifiable but often difficult to argue extensively about better used as evidence to support a claim) Asian Parents are strict when it comes to their future.

Opinion​ (personal position on a topic) Kids ​Belief​ (social, religious, or political in nature – an opinion held by many to be a fact, though it is not necessarily factual – often involves a judgement) Failing (dishonor) at a young age means dishonoring your family.

Generalization​ (uses absolute or statistical pronouns: all, always, every, never, none, most, half – ​avoid using this type of thesis statement ​unless citing the source of the data​) Asian parents expect differently causing mental problems for them if they were weak-minded.

Document Based​ (cites a specific source, author, and position on a topic) In Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother, Amy Chua, argues that Asian parenting isn’t to make their children just smart, but also make them mentally and physically strong, and when it comes to hard tasks, they 17

would be forced to execute it perfectly no matter what it takes. It’s that type of cost to have the perfect child in an Asian parent’s eyes.

​Theory​ (a statement that can be tested and potentially proven - often answers a research question) ​Growing up with high standards can affect children mentally at a young age, causing the risk of losing a family relationship and or a successful future.

Clarification/Expansion of Thesis​ (could extend the thesis, preview the evidence supporting the thesis, give the purpose of thesis, establish the importance or significance of examining the intricacies of the thesis – ​this could be several sentences long​) If broken down in simple terms, if a child dislikes their parents because of their high standards, they’re planning to break-off a family relationship, and because of that hate, they never see the good side of Asian parenting. The Teen era is what really affects them the most since the character of a person is growing, and with high expectations, they don’t feel the freedom as the character they’re trying to shape. With hate, expectations, and change it paints a picture of non-supporting people who raised them. With already high expectations, parents expect more since now they think they can do better since they can make basic decisions that will lead their life better, but when kids lower their expectations it makes the hate be seen in a smaller picture than a bigger picture. Usually parents are stricter in the younger age of their life when they’re not the ones to decide something either if it’s useful or useless. If they start off strong, they will continue to march forward with the right decisions. With Tiger parenting, it really depends on who the kid is, the type of character they inherit from their family.

18

Body Paragraphs​ (must have ​echoes of the thesis​ in each AND present evidence to support or expand on the thesis) Topic Sentences​ (must specifically indicate the topic of the paragraph and focus on one subject and/or area of evidence or support – could start with a “Transition of Logic” that connects to the previous paragraph to give context) Additionally, there is a vast amount of many personal experiences, but to this essay, it’s based on the experiences as a parent (Amy Chua) and her daughters (LuLu and Sophia) and how they grew up with changes, traditions, and expectations. ​ (Now every sentence in this paragraph must be related to the connection between fast food and health) Presenting Evidence from Quotations​ (quotes should NEVER be used as individual sentences – quotes should be embedded within sentences) The author states, “Western parents try to respect their children’s individuality, encouraging them to pursue their true passions, supporting their choices, and providing positive reinforcement and a nurturing environment. By contrast, the Chinese believe that the best way to protect their children is by preparing them for the future, letting them see what they’re capable of, and arming them with skills, work habits, and inner confidence that no one can ever take away.” (Chua, 2011) Examining the Evidence Paraphrasing​ (rewording of a quote into other words of the same length without quotation marks, but still citing the source - useful for examining the quote and transitioning to your analysis of the quote) Western parents will respect their child’s right, encouraging them to pursue their own dreams for themselves by supporting their goals with positive environments to let them expand. For Chinese parents, they believe that the best way to parent is to come up with ways to protect their children by preparing them for their future, leading them to discover their own talents as what they’re capable of certain skills, work habits, and inner confidence that is unique from others.

19

Summarizing​ (condensing larger quotes or sections - useful for closing the examination of the quote/evidence and transitioning to your analysis of the quote) Asian parents are stricter than western parents when it comes to talent and academics.

Abstract Examples​ (hypothetical, “what if” examples that do not refer to a source – ​AVOID USING THEM AS EVIDENCE ​– but useful for examining the quote) ​Asian parents are just people who like to present themselves proudly of achievements if they aren’t those who worked hard to get where they are like the daughters of Amy Chua.

Concrete Examples​ (actual examples that do refer to a source – useful for enhancing your analysis of the quote) A study in the May 2014 ​‘Tiger Mother’ vs. Western-style Mothers?

Stanford News, ​it states “Asian American students experienced more interdependence with their mothers and pressure from them. But the pressure does not strain their relationships with their mothers as much as it does with European Americans, according to the study.” showing that Asians have better relationships in family than Western in the teen era.

Closing Sentences​ (must end the discussion of the topic within the paragraph with a transitional or culminating word – possibly an adverb – and should echo the thesis of the essay) 20

Clearly, it shows that even though Asians have strict parenting, they still keep that family relationship no matter what. With that, putting risks into losing relationships, it’s pretty low, because of the unique type of parenting that benefits both parties

Closing Paragraphs​ (Conclusions – should not be mere summaries of the previous paragraphs of your essay) Consequences of Disregarding the Thesis​ (establishing the potential consequences of disregarding the implications of the thesis – CREATING A COUNTERARGUMENT – could be one or more sentences) When it comes to Tiger parenting, being taught with high standards is a risky force of stress on both the parent and child. Tiger parenting is parenting that starts with a stressful childhood and stressful future because of the career choice that parents would approve of. Stress starts at a young age, but when you gain that mentality of handling hard tasks, you would be used to it, along with the future that lies ahead. Asian parenting in general is a positive mindset for kids who will have the struggles in life, but those who already went through long hardships are people who are strong no matter what the outcomes are.

Statement(s) of Extension​ (extending the consequences of disregarding the implications of the thesis – could be one or more sentences) Without high standards, the child might not have the expectations of parents, so without expectations, they’re not doing things beyond their limits. Setting limits to their own expectations, being satisfied with yourself is already enough, but when it comes to making parents proud, it comes with greater effort. Not setting standards that are exceedingly difficult doesn’t show that you aren’t that serious about your own occupation.

Reestablishing the Significance of the Thesis​ (could be one or more sentences) Growing up with high expectations and standards can affect children at a young age, whether it would be a positive or negative parenting it affects them mentally. It causes the risk of losing a family 21

relationship, which sometimes kids don’t understand why parents act like they do, because they want you to have a successful future.

Final Sentence​ (connects to the hook and finishes the essay (finish your argument) – the “Smoky the Bear”/”Drop the mic”/dot dot dot moment…)

Asian parents are just better at being parents…
