Answer:
The first plot is about the monkey king who is insulted by other rulers and decides to prove that he's better than they think. He practices kung fu, increases his abilities, and then shows off his skills. His feelings of superiority lead him to rename himself the Great Sage. When he visits Tze-Yo-Tzuh, the creator of all tries to tell the monkey king that he should be content with just being a monkey, but the monkey king refuses. As punishment for his poor choices, Tze-Yo-Tzuh buries the monkey king under a mountain of rock. Five hundred years later Wong Lai-Tsao explains that he can free himself by reducing himself back to his original size. After he is freed, he send his son Wei-Chen on a journey to become a mortal for forty years and stay free of vice. The monkey king keeps an eye on his son and his son's friend Jin by disguising himself as Chin-kee.
In the second plot, Jin is a young Chinese American who doesn't fit in at school. He befriends Wei-Chen who immigrates to America from Taiwan. Wei-Chen goes out with Suzy and eventually Jin works up the courage to ask out Amelia. Then Amelia's friend Greg asks Jin to stop dating Amelia, which makes him wish he were white. When he wakes up, he finds that he is white, so he renames himself Danny, which leads to the third plotline.ω⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒⇒

1. English
Edmund Spenser is English. He varied the traditional Shakespearean English sonnet form by changing the rhyme scheme which creates couplet links that connect the quatrains together.
2. abab bcbc cdcd ee
Spenserian sonnets repeat the last rhyme as the first rhyme of the next quatrain. This continuation of a rhyme from quatrain to quatrain ties them together more than previous sonnet forms.

Answer:
The House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros features a series of short chapters told from the first-person point of view of Esperanza, a young teenage girl. She moves to the house on Mango Street in Chicago with her family, but she doesn't like it. The house is run-down and small in a poor neighborhood. Esperanza tracks her experiences over a year of living in that house. Not an attractive girl, Esperanza never receives the attention from men that some of her friends receive. She describes time spent with her sister, Nenny, such as when they paraded around the neighborhood in high heels one day with their friends Rachel and Lucy. She also follows the lives of many of the neighbors who live around her. She highlights significant or telling moments in their lives, mostly moments that show their the difficulties that they experience, such as when Louie's cousin was arrested for stealing a car or when Esperanza's Aunt Lupe dies.
She tells about a neighbor Marin, who is a young mother trying to raise her children. Marin dates a man named Geraldo who winds up dead the same night. Esperanza describes Sally, a girl from school, whose father physically abuses her, so she ends up marrying an older man and moving away. Several times in the story Esperanza describes situations where abuse occurs. For example, she gets a job at a photo shop, and a fellow employee kisses her on the mouth her first day. Then one day she was supposed to meet Sally at the carnival, but she didn't show up and instead an old man sexually assaulted Esperanza.
Esperanza points out people who are disappointed with the way their lives turned out, such as her mother who dropped out of school because she was ashamed of her wardrobe. Esperanza longs to own her own home, a spacious place where she could let other people stay with her. She meets some fortune-telling women who promise her that her dream will someday come true. They remind her, however, that she should not turn her back on Mango Street. She should return to help those people who are unable to help themselves get out. By the end of the story, after a year of living on Mango Street, she realizes that she will escape someday, but she will also return. If she doesn't help make things better, who will.
