COMMENT ON KINGSTON

Respone of her quote about changing myths.

I agree with Maxine Hong Kingston. Myths are part of culture and culture changes. Maxine Hong Kingston is an Chinese American, which means her culture is a mixture of Chinese and American culture. Native Chinese have there own myths to remember and enjoy. Kingston creates new myths for the people like her. I dont think myths have a right or a wrong way. Myths started out to be oral stories that change throughout generations. And the generation the immigrated to America should have the right to incoroporate their cultures and creates different versions of their myths. Culture is about the people and if people are changing so should the culture. Culture is a representation not history.
