Answer:
Beginning - celery eating, neighbor's buffet
Middle - narrator gets jeans, meat at restaurant
End - Meg slurps a shake
Explanation:
The question above is related to the story entitled "The All-American Slurp," which was written by<em> Lensey Namioka</em>. At the beginning of the story, the Lins' family is seen having a hard time eating the "raw celery" which Mrs. Gleason prepared. In China, they would often <u>boil the celery first before eating.</u> This was followed by the buffet wherein they were invited for dinner. <u>They didn't know that buffet dining would mean eating in the living room</u> and not dragging some chairs towards the food area.
In the middle of the story, <u>the mother finally bought the narrator some jeans</u> because she saw how it was a necessity in America. They also ate at the Lakeview restaurant as a celebration for <em>Mr. Lins' promotion in the company.</em>
At the end of the story, Meg persuaded the narrator that they have some milkshakes, since <em>Dairy Queen</em> was just located down the street. The narrator ended up paying for the shakes since she was the host.
So, this explains the answers.
