I attached Jade Peony’s pdf file to this order.
I am still finding the pdf for Diamond Grill. I’ll add it to the order if I find it.
If I can’t find it, you can use ChatGPT or Google to find summaries of pages 38 to 75. You do not have to quote this book directly if you can’t find any quotes to use.
You can access the movie Crazy Rich Asians if you have a Netflix membership and a VPN. The movie is available on Hong Kong, Japan, and Germany’s Netflix. If you can’t, just quote from the trailer and clips. Search for the movie’s name on YouTube.
Find another two academic articles to reference. They can be reviews, critics of the books and movie or articles you think are critical for your thesis statement.
