Some possible ideas for rewrite

I was wondering if I can relate one of the masterpieces by Pearl Buck to the post-colonial theory. I used to read the whole text during high school but I had trouble recalling many of the details. Some of you probably had read her most well-known novel “The Good Earth” in high school, which dramatizes family life in a Chinese village during 1930s and the book was later an influential factor in Buck’s winning the Nobel Prize for literature in 1938. I think it’s crucial to give you a brief introduction of the author herself.

A brief introduction
Pearl Buck, who was one of the most world-wide read writers in the 20^th century, was also the first American woman who won the Nobel Prize for literature. Buck acknowledges herself an American as well as a Chinese. It is believed that her great success and her inevitable sorrow are all due to her special life experience. Many scholars have indicated that Buck’s multicultural identities are made up of her gender as a woman, her race as a white, her family root as a missionary daughter and her career as a famous writer, besides the well discussed nationalities.

So far I haven’t decided which narrative I will choose for rewrite and I still have a list of options of her short stories:

·         The First Wife and Other Stories (1933)

·         Escape at Midnight and Other Stories (1964)

·         The Woman Who Was Changed and Other Stories (1979)

·         The Good Deed (1969)
