Therefore, the communist consider American as enemies. However, mix-raced kids are discriminated during the Vietnam War their fates are terrible because the communist take over Vietnam and American help their opposite side. Most people nowadays consider mix-raced kids as beautiful or handsome. Although racial discrimination exists in our society, people take pride in mix-raced. To dye Kien’s hair and hide his identity shows Kien is discriminated by social community. So his mother dyes his hair to make him looks like a Vietnamese. If the police know about Kien’s identity, they might take him to jail.

When the police go to check their family status after the fall of Saigon his mother worries about his identity. His mother is ashamed about Kien’s mix-raced and she is very worry about him. However, his dean cancels his qualification before the parade begins because of his mix-raced. He wants his mother to be proud of him too. He is very proud and it is a good challenge for him to do his best. His teacher recommends him to be a leader in front of parade. So teens should learn how to get alone with each other.įor example, Kien is a mix-raced and he is a good student whom his teachers are proud of his accomplishments. At school, teens are studying with different races of classmates, and they have different cultures and backgrounds. Discrimination not only happens during the war, but it is also happens in school. The United States is a multi-ethnic country, and there are many different races’ people live in the same community. Discrimination happens in every country and discrimination still exists in our life, especially in the United States.

The reason for 11th graders to learn from war is discrimination. However, they never imagine a war is always related to our life. Since teens need to study history at school, they only learn from the book. The major theme in this book for 11th graders is the effect of war. The students in 11th grade are studying history, and history is a requirement subject in high school. In my opinion, war is cruel for people, and it causes many different social issues. This is the true story about Kien’s childhood life after the communist takeover Vietnam in 1975. “The Unwanted” is a work of nonfiction and it is about the Vietnam War. I am writing this letter because I want to recommend the book -“The Unwanted” by Kien Nguyen to 11th graders in high school.
