Rolling the R’s Analysis for anyone who has access to book.

1. Write around 200 ~ 300 words about summary of the book and what idea or problem does it raise. For example, In Chapter “ The two Flippinos “
-> The issue of identity denial comes up in the chapter, “The Two Filipinos,” when Nelson Ariola openly dismisses his Filipino heritage and tells Mrs. Takemoto, Yet Nelson is not the only one dealing with such an identity crisis, as other characters are coming to grips with their own identities as sexual beings or even as American citizens, for instance.

After reading the book I want three different ideas or problems that the book raises.

2. Three different ideas or problems. Quote the reference and explain in detail .

200 ~ 300 words each .

Example. But need to elaborate get deeper in analysis.
In the dark, I feel the big letters and I start for write my name and all the names people call me. Faggot. Mahu. Queen. Bakla. Queer. Cocksucker. Dicklover. Even thought most of the names are who I am and what I do, they say’ em with so much hate, like I ugly or some- thing. But I not ugly. I might be mean, but that’s cuz I need for be strong when they trying for put me down and make like I the one ugly cuz I not like them. ( Page 10 )
-> In the very beginning of the book, the main character Edgar talks about reclaiming its identity.
On Page 10, Edgar states that people call him “ Faggot, Mahu, Queen, Bakla, Queer, Cocksucker and go on. These names that people call him by has redefine his identites.
