5. Briefly summarize the character arcs of the three protagonists and the lesson each character learns.
5a. The Monkey King
5b. Jin Wang
5c. Danny

The Monkey King played by Chin-kee was a monkey who lived for thousands of years, which enabled him to be conversant with heavily disciples. Based on this premise,and on perceiving the aroma of dinner from heaven, he assumed he should be of the same status with these disciples (the gods) and wanted to dine with the gods.But the gods rejected his moves, mock him for being a monkey without shoes. His brevity and determination enabled him to defeat some gods and goddesses. But, was sent to oblivion when buried under the mountain, to be liberated by Tze-Yo-Tzuh.

The Monkey king learnt that it was hard  to  pretend to be someone else (either in character or mode of dressing) especially, someone of great disparity between the two.

Jin Wang was a character who struggle to fit into the westernized white American Society.He was an introvert who would not talk or mingle with anybody in the school. Nonetheless he had a crush for Amelia, encouraged to ask for relationship, but this ended as soon a sit started.As he  was advised by Greg, a friend to Amelia to break up with Amelia.

Jim Wang learnt the same lesson as the Monkey King: it is not possible to be somelse, and not satisfactory to assume another person identity. The best is to maintain amd retain one’s true identity.

Danny, an ever irritable character, was a white ‘average’ American boy. The sight and presence of his yearly visiting Asian Cousin, Chin-kee, always nauseated him. The impact of these translated to inferiority complex. He played the role of a double character under the name Jin Wang. Thus he learnt the same lesson that Jin learnt: true identity overrules character impersonation.

Explanation:

relations between the soviet union and the united states were driven by a complex interplay of ideological, political, and economic factors, which led to shifts between cautious cooperation and often bitter superpower rivalry over the years. the distinct differences in the political systems of the two countries often prevented them from reaching a mutual understanding on key policy issues and even, as in the case of the cuban missile crisis, brought them to the brink of war.

the united states government was initially hostile to the soviet leaders for taking russia out of world war i and was opposed to a state ideologically based on communism. although the united states embarked on a famine relief program in the soviet union in the early 1920s and american businessmen established commercial ties there during the period of the new economic policy (1921–29), the two countries did not establish diplomatic relations until 1933. by that time, the totalitarian nature of joseph stalin's regime presented an insurmountable obstacle to friendly relations with the west. although world war ii brought the two countries into alliance, based on the common aim of defeating nazi germany, the soviet union's aggressive, antidemocratic policy toward eastern europe had created tensions even before the war ended.
