Read “Asian Men Can Jump,” by Gish Jen (2012, New York Times)
In 2012, Jeremy Lin led an unexpected winning streak by the New York Knicks, becoming the first Asian-American player to rise to prominence in the National Basketball Association. The writer Gish Jen published the following op-ed reflecting on the significance of Lin’s success.
Read the passage carefully, then complete the following tasks:
Identify a claim made by Jen and explain the reasoning underlying this claim.
List at least two pieces of supporting evidence from the passage and briefly explain how they support the claim you have identified
Answer:
Jen claims that her brother, Bob, could be "the fittest 58-year-old on the planet." Of course, this is not a claim to be taken literally. It means that his health and physical state is incredibly good for his age.
Explanation:
The evidence she provides is that her brother´s doctor has estimated Bob´s biological age at 35. She further supports her claim saying that "he´s still climbing big mountains in the Himalayas," which is a monumental physical effort.
Answer:
The central idea of the poem Our Generation is to show that today's generation of adolescents and children is not lost, and that they can get ahead if the things they are doing wrong are reversed.
Explanation:
The poem <em>Our Generation</em> was written by a 14-year-old girl named Jordan Nichols.
The peculiarity of this poem is that when we begin to read it, it narrates everything bad that the current generation of children has. It describes a generation that doesn't care about anything and doesn't want to fight to change it. Basically it describes everything that older people think of this generation. But when we get to the end of the poem there are some lines that say: "Read from bottom to top now".
Read it from bottom to top the poem changes completely. Show how this girl really sees her generation. A fighting generation, which can change all the bad they have if they set their mind to it.
