"Dear Friend, From My Life I Write to You in Your Life"

Here are some questions I have about this essay:


  • Why this title?
  • Why is it divided up into sections like this?
  • What do we learn about the author in this essay?
  • How is this essay about immigration? What does the before and after musing in section 1 have to do with this, if anything? 
  • Why doesn't Li want to be a dreamer? What does it mean to be one? What is the difference between dreaming and being ambitious? 
What questions do you have?

    Li doesn't want to be a dreamer because in her view, she don't know how to dream and a dreamer only dreams but she want her needs to be a reality not just a dream. To be a dreamer one usually believe that the good and the real shall triumph and last. A dreamer is a characteristic like persistence meanwhile on the other hand to be called ambitious are those who know their talents and believe in it.
