Thesis

Sorry I wasn't in class to do this today. I forgot to set my alarm. Anyway, I think I want to build upon something I've written about extensively, and that would be the role of Chin-Kee in American Born Chinese. I will argue, hopefully using reviews of the work for support, that Chin-Kee is a tool employed by the author to let the reader know they are viewing a farce or charade. Said farce is, of course, Jin's denial of his identity.

So tentatively, that's what I'm doing. It could change if I don't find sufficient sources to aid my argument.
