Chinese Mythology and Paper Burning and Stuff like that, or how i decided to bite the bullet and write

So we had to choose topics to write about for our second paper last week. I chose Chinese mythology and symbolism and how Kingston (the author) utilizes them to further her stories and explain her sense of identity. now i'm having trouble narrowing this topic down to a five page worthy thesis, so i decided just to write and see what comes out of it. hopefully it won't be too long.
