Journal 9

The book "Wild Meat and the Bully Burgers" realtes to my identity because this is not just a proper english book but how some people in the Hawaiian islands talk, which is pidgin. I tend to talk pidgin from time to time. In the book there is a lot of pidgin, for example "I will work on my Gramma Spenca's pig farm when i grow up cuz she said i can drive slop truck. Tank you." In this book there's a teacher trying to correct how they speak and teach them how to speak proper english. I can relate to that because i had teachers who correct and taught me how to speak proper english.

Talkin pidgin is not the only thing i can relate to this book. i can also relate to how the main character lives. The character lives in Hawaii and so do I, and i know how hard it is to live in Hawaii. You have to work hard, the main character works on a plantation, and i work by cleaning a preschool everynight with my parents. This is how this book relates to me.
