Kim Chapter 1 Pgs. 1-3
A brief summary: A little child living in an apartment complex chooses to grow some lima beans on an empty lot to demonstrate to her deceased father that she is capable of hard work and patience. It creates a ripple effect throughout the building, causing others to reflect on their own problems and how a little girl's example of constructing a beautiful garden and cooperating may make a difference in their circumstances.
We are introduced to Kim, a young woman who lives in Cleveland in an apartment complex. She is staring at her father's portrait, unsure if he can see or remember her. He died eight months prior to her birth. Her father was a farmer in Vietnam, and she chooses to plant some lime beans on an empty lot to demonstrate her patience and determination to her father.

Explanation:
"Breaking with tradition" is a major theme of modernist literature. Therefore, the correct answer is the second one -- it emphasizes the changing values of the time.
In this case, the changing values involve women's appearance. For centuries, women had long hair. A woman with very short hair was never seen. In the story, though, short hair is becoming the fashion.
Answer: I do not believe homework has value.
Explanation:
I do not believe homework has value. Homework promotes negative emotion like stress, lack of self worth, and strain in the home.
Most kids in the United States have homework after school. Every day, children work 6-9 hours at school learning, just to come home and do more work. We all know how much kids need their sleep, so what happens to kids in sports? Or kids who need family time? Or just a break? This causes lots of stress on children.
Another reason I do not believe in homework is because if kids are trying very hard in school, why bother give them more work? I feel it is a bit different if a kid is really struggling in classes, but I feel that a teacher should then take initiative to help the kid rather than pile on more work.
Homework can cause strain in the home. In my personal experiences, my parents get frusterated when I have lots of homework to do because they want to spend time with me. If I skip homework, I’ll get in trouble for getting a poor grade. If I don’t skip homework, my parents will be frustrated that I cannot spend time with them. This can cause lots of strain in the home and add even more stress to the kids environment!
Overall, I believe homework does not do any good for kids. I think it is very harmful and stress inducing.
