These letters surprised me, I didn't expect them to have the reaction they did to my comment about 'Typical White Girl.' In almost every response I recieved from them I had a comment about typical white girls and wether or not I got into trouble for saying that about these girls. Most of the chinese people thought I was a humorous guy, but others thought I needed to step out of my shell and do something realistic and fun because apparently my life was boring to her.
I got asked many questions in the letters including questions about our society, our school-life and how we go to school for only 6 hours. Also I got asked repeatively about the "Typical white girl" comment if I was prejudice towards women or if I got in trouble with the girls in my class, etc. I got asked if we have lots of homework since we only go to school for such a short time, compared to them.
The responses to my essay excited me to see what people from a foreign country thought about our average teenage life. With the responses I got about my name of my essay, "Adventures of Ryan's Daily Life," I have decided to change the title to "The Average Daily Life of Ryan."
In all I was thrilled to get responses back about it and have so many questions to answer and to ask them.
