"Little Saigon" by David St. John and "Zelzah: A tale from long ago" by Norma Fox Mazer

"Little Saigon"

I don’t understand this poetry entirely. I read this poem twice… I feel bit frustrating.


"Zelzah: A tale from long ago"

This story however is amazing. I enjoyed reading this story. This story is about a girl who grew up with 4 other sisters. Their name has meaning. Girl named Zelzah meant Shade-in-the-heat. It’s interesting about their cultures. They are from other country that is very poor. Zelzah was sent to America to be married with one of her cousins. Wounded up didn’t marry with any of them and lived on her own. She studies hard to be a successful student. Whole her life was very excellent. She was very humble and loveable. She is very happy person. No matter what happen, she would laugh. When I read this story, it made me smile. No matter what we did in our daily life. We should be glad that we live to see what is happening to our life.
