Gloria Whalen purposefully juxtaposes characters in Goodbye Vietnam. She juxtaposes Kim and Mai. Kim wears blue jeans and plays the flute. Mai on the other hand wears a tunic. She does this to show the differences in the two families by making Mai's family traditional and Kim's family more modern.

Everything in my reading was pretty unbelievable. I am  reading The Hobbit. The book went on from scenes about a little hobbit fighting gigantic spiders to talking eagles. The book was about a little hobbit named Bilbo Baggins helping dwarfs get their land back from an evil talking dragon named Smaug. I feel it had all this make-believe stuff in it because it was supposed to be set in the past.
