  1. I did read Ha Jin, “When Cowboy Chicken Came To Town” and “An Entrepreneur’s Story.” In my opinion, they were about American values being integrated into the Chinese culture. The values and culture I noticed were, “get rich quick”, capitalism, laziness, and greediness. Whether it be the American making money so much money on chicken or the Chinese man being poor and becoming rich due to the capitalist view on clothes, they both were greedy. Do the Chinese not waste anything? Do they think socialism is better than capitalism? Do they truly despise the integration of American culture into theirs? Should America have not influenced and left China’s culture alone? Does America integrate Chinese values into their culture? These are all my questions that arose after reading these two stories.
