The Unwanted

I am writing this earn because I want to recommend the book The Unwanted by Kien Nguyen to eleventh rack uprs in mettle around school. The Unwanted is a work of nonfiction and it is nearly the Vietnam contend. This is the true story close to Kiens childhood lookspan after struggled the communistic guardover Vietnam in 1975. In my opinion, struggle is cruel for people, and it causes many an(prenominal) contrasting social issues. The students in eleventh grade are asking history, and history is a requirement subject in high school. The major(ip) theme in this book for 11th graders is the effect of war. Since teens need to study history at school, they only need from the book.However, they never imagine a war is always related to our keep. The background for 11th graders to learn from war is discrimination. Discrimination happens in e rattling coun filter and discrimination still exists in our life, especially in the United States. The United States is a multi-ethnic c ountry, and at that place are many different races people live in the same(p) community. Discrimination not only happens during the war, but it is also happens in school. At school, teens are studying with different races of classmates, and they incur different cultures and backgrounds. So teens should learn how to get alone with each former(a).For example, Kien is a mix-raced and he is a undecomposed student whom his teachers are proud of his accomplishments. His teacher recommends him to be a loss leader in front of parade. He is very proud and it is a favorable challenge for him to do his beat verboten. He wants his mother to be proud of him too. However, his dean rearcels his qualification before the parade begins because of his mix-raced. His mother is ashamed just about Kiens mix-raced and she is very worry about him. When the police go to check their family place after the fall of Saigon his mother worries about his identity element.If the police hit the hay abo ut Kiens identity, they might experience him to jail. So his mother dyes his hair to pull out him looks like a Vietnamese. To dye Kiens hair and hide his identity shows Kien is discriminated by social community. Although racial discrimination exists in our society, people take pride in mix-raced. Most people nowadays gestate mix-raced kids as beautiful or hand few. However, mix-raced kids are discriminated during the Vietnam War their fates are terrible because the communist take over Vietnam and American help their opposite side. Therefore, the communist consider American as enemies. So the discrimination nfluences teens 11th graders because they need to know more(prenominal) about the social problem in the war. Also, teens should learn the racial discrimination from Kiens experience. It could always remind teens to get alone with others when they have discrimination at school or in community. Besides, learning more discrimination information also helps them to improve their hi storical knowledge. Another reason for me to recommend this book to 11th grader is appreciation of Kiens steadfastly life after the war. Now, our living standard is better than the life in war however, some families are still facing financial problem.Also, Kiens life is affected by Vietnam War which he must work to a great extent to support his familys financial problem. Moreover, 11th graders can learn from Kiens experience, begin to live independently. So, this is a good chance for the teens to learn a lesson from Kiens experience. For example, Kien was living in a wealthy family, and he doesnt need to worry about his life. However, his life has changed after Vietnam War. He whole caboodle hard to less his mothers burden. Sometimes he ascertains bemused because no one can help him everyone is worrying about their life at the same time.He finally learns how to take care of his family and earn capital for his family. He is matured by his life and he acts like an adult. No matt er how bad the living surroundings Kien has, he still accepts it. As teenagers, we should learn from Kiens life experience to handle our difficulties. Also, this is the useful and assistive message for 11th grader they can learn a lesson from Kiens hard life and learn how to handle the difficulties if they have family financial problem. On the other hand, survival and hope are the most important factors in our life.Everyone has a hope when they live in the world and works hard to influence a living way. If people do not have a hope to survive, they might live like a person without soul. Also, some of people never give up when they lose their hope they try to find their hope to survive. But some teens do not hazard so, sometimes they feel hopeless when they are facing difficulties without any helps. In this book, Kien is hopeless just after the fall of Vietnam. He is too micro to handle all of his difficulties in his life. Because he is the oldest son for his mother, he has to t ake all of the responsibilities.Kien never gives up when he is facing his difficulties. He tries his best to help his family out of Vietnam. His become is an American and he is looking for his father he needs his fathers help, and he wants his father takes him out of his misfortune. From his difficulties to a way out of Vietnam, it gives him a hope in his life. When 11th graders study many different wars around the world, some of them might feel people in the war are hopeless and helpless they move intot want to accept their misfortune. It also helps teens to beneathstand even the environment is terrible, they still can find their way to live.As a result, survival is very important in everyones life. I like this book very much after I finish it. I am so excited and nervous by Kiens life changes in this book. I really want to recommend this book to 11th graders who are vex in history and want to study history, because students in 11th grade begin to study history and it is the re quirement subject in high school. So, this book can helps them to know more details of historical events in Vietnam War. From Kiens life, hope and discrimination in the war, they can get the different point of view in the book.Also, they will learn how Kien helps his family and handles his hardship in his life. Now, the teenagers dont understand the difficulties after the war, because they live under their parents protection. For some teens are mix-raced like Kien, they can compare the different situation about the discrimination with Kiens experience. Before, I had heard some histories from my parents about the Vietnam War and I had learned a little bit at school, and I dont know how people live during the war. Now, I can image how Kiens life in Vietnam and how hard he lives under the community society.
