今天阅读的部分，让我对Ali有了更进一步的了解。说实话，这本书黄色段子挺多的，而且都出于她平时的生活。想想，这应该算是我第一本看过那么的黄段子吧，但又不得不说Ali把自己的生活全貌完全滴展现在我们的面前，也是够真诚滴。尤其是读到她在文中写过的一些话，更加深了我对她的喜爱。
“I tried to stay away from the classic Disney princess movies. In addition to featuring a lot of unempowered women, those movies are just so white. White people and stories about white people are not bad, it’s just that when you live in America, everything is so inherently white. I don’t want you to grow up wishing you were white and having that inform all of your decisions later on in life. I want you to be proud of having black hair and Asian features.”
Ali教育孩子也是蛮有自己的一套的，她明白像迪斯尼这样的电影会过度渲染了白人的力量，而忽视了其他种族的力量。即使自己的宝贝女儿们都在美国长大，但她并不希望女儿种下种子，然后希望自己成为白人，而是更希望女儿们会因为自己是一名亚洲女孩感到自豪。Ali这样的教育真的很赞，也感动到我，很多人在美国成长的人会忘记自己的根，但Ali不断在这些小小的细节上提醒女儿们因为自己的黑头发和黑眼睛而自豪。
“My mom was never the type to write me long letters or birthday cards. We never got mani-pedis together, she never gave me a locket with our picture in it. She wouldn’t tell me I looked beautiful, help me shop for prom, or soothe me when a boy broke my heart. But she was there. She kept me safe. She did her best to make me tough. She fed me the most delicious home-cooked meals. For lunch, she’d pack me rare sliced steak over white rice and steamed broccoli. She sent me to private school from kindergarten through twelfth grade. She is still there for me. She will always be there for me, as long as she’s able. That’s a great mom.
Ali写母亲的这一段也是特别打动我。在Ali的教育中，母亲对她的培养也是顺其自然，也从来没有花太多的心思。记得Ali在描写的过程中，也曾抱怨过母亲对她教育的不关心，因为母亲对教育的不理睬，所以Ali决定要更加用心滴培养和关爱女儿。虽然有抱怨，但母亲还是母亲，还是最爱的那个人。
"母亲从来没有给我写过信，没有夸过我美丽，和男朋友分手时也从来没有安慰我，但是她就在那儿，给予我最大的安全，送我去私人学校，准备许多的好吃，"她是世界上最棒的母亲。
