  1. i think they should have not pranked 2nd sister because she could prank them back and o bet they would not be happy. These are alike because the people who do the pranks dont really care but the other may get hurt or they might think it is funny."the three of them beamed and congrtulated eachother in silence

  3. One thing that is alike is that they both did it on purpose. Another thing that is differnt is that in Mariah Keeps Cool Mariah didn't have a plan thought out and in Yang The Second they did. Something that is alike it that in the end both of their plans worked out.
    "Our chace came at last. It was our spring vacation, and as a treat Mrs. O'Meara took Kim, Third Sister, and me to visit the Pacific Science Center."

  4. I think the tricks are alike because Lynn and second sister both don't know that is going to happen to them.Like in the book,"Lynn looked stunned, truly surprised."That showed that Lynn had no clue that it was happening.I also thought they were different because Lynn was being surprised and second sister was being tricked on.

  5. Both of the stories are alike because they both keep their plans a secret, and the plan almost douesn't work for either of them, like Lynn almost caught them making the decorations, and they thought Paul already had a girlfriend,"It seemed that we had been wasting our time, Paul already had a girlfriend!". But, they are different because mariah was planning a party, and Yingtao tries to get Second Sister and Paul together. Thank you!

  6. Yang the Second and mariah keeps cool are alike because they both do a good job of tricking their sisters.Those stories are not alike because,third sister and yingtao play a trick because they want second sister to have friends. But mariah was tricking her sister about her suprise party with lynn's friends. So that means the are different because one was tricking with friends and one without."In china she had lots of friends, she would be sitting with them, talking and laughing."

  7. The similarities are that they both played a trick on their siblings. The diffrences are that Mariah threre a surprise party and Yingtao plays the trick on second sister so she can meet a friend.But their plans both sucseeded. here's an example from Yang the Second and her Secret edmirers."By the next day I was begging to have second thoughts about our plot. It could turn out to be really embarrasing for Second Sister." They thought that the plan could end in disastar but it didn't.

  8. It is alike because they are both sisters and they both played a nice trick and not a mean one. They are different because they have different reasons why they want to do the trick. Yingtao plays a trick on second sister about a boy who likes second sister. Mariah plays a trick on Lynn for her birthday,Lynn says that she didnt want a birthday party but she got one."Hi Paul,I said weakly."Meaning she was shocked to see him there and she didnt know what to say in front of him.

  10. The trickery is alike becasue both keep a secret with and from some being. For example in "Mariah Keeps Cool", Mariah keeps the suprise party away from Lynn's knowing. And in "Yang the Second and her Secret Admirrers", Third Sister and Forth Brother try to make Second Sister friends with Paul Eng. It says right here in the story, "As the oldest daughter in her family, Second Sister clings to her Chinise heritage and refuses to make any friends." See? The reason that the sisters are being so secret is to make Second Sister have at least one friend, because one friend is alot different from no friends (kid).

    There trikery was diffrent because Mariah trikes for a party. Yingtao playes a trick of love on Paul and secound sister."does your sister ever go out with boys, you know on dates"? . There alike because it's a trick and they had to practise for it.

  12. In Yang the Second and her Secret Admirers and in Mariah Keeps Cool they both play tricks on there sisters. Therefore they are the same but they do it for do it for different reasons.Such as in Mariah Keeps Cool they play a trick on Lynn to throgh a surprize birthday party. And in Yang the Second Sisters and her Secret Admirers they play a trick to get Yang a boy friend.

    The girls are the same because they both try to do something in a secret. They are different because in Yang the Second they are trying to get people together. In Mariah keeps cool they are throwing a suprise birthday party. Like in Yang the Second while the girls were washing the dishes they were saying," So that proves he like her!"

  15. they are alike becouse yingtao dosnt want to do it and lynn doesnt want to have a party heres a qoete from the 2 storys. "i just want to do nothing on my birthday but rest in bed all day". i had told him the truth,"i said , and sighed again."i told him second sister woudnt date a boy who didnt speak chinese."and theyre diffrent becouse lynn talks to everyone but yingtao just talks to people that speak chines.

    the two horrible lyers, i mean girls are the same because the both played a trick on somone to make them happy. in maria keeps cool maria makes lynn think everyone is avoiding her but they are really just trying to get ready for a suprise party for her. in yang the secont her brothers trick her and paul into thinking the other likes them."I really dont think she knows!"

  17. I think there different. Because Yingtao did it to help his sister get a friend. The way they did it was they said stuff about Paul. Where in Mariah keeps cool they do a party. where they get Lynn out of the house and when she gets back they surprse her."Are you sure he likes her."

  18. Something that is alike is that they were trying to do something nice for their sister. Another thing is that Mariah or Yingtao didn't know about the trick they were playing on them. A difference is that Mariah was throughing a suprise party and Yingtao was trying to set Second sister up with a guy. Another difference is that MAriah was doing something for her younger sister and Yintao was doing something for her older sister. " Third sister,Kim,and I went to elementary school,while Paul went to the same high school and second sister."

  19. The tricks are the same because the girls both are tricking their older sister. They also both have help from friends and family. They are different because Mariah was planning a party for Lynn. Yingtao was planning for Second Sister to be asked on a date. Here is a quote from Yang the Second to support my answer, "I decided to get the two of them together after all."

  20. The two stories are different because In Mariah Keeps Cool, Lynn finds out that she was misleaded. But, in Yang the Second, Paul and Second Sister don't find out that Yingto's words were acts. They are alike because Mariah and Yingto both kept the secret from thier sisters. Thus, Yingto and Mariah both work extremely hard to complete thier missions. I can tell that Mariah worked hard from this quote,"In Brandon's room, they were all busy cutting colorful paper petals and clipping thin wire, wrapping it with green paper stems.

  21. my quot srry its seprate !

  22. the reson they are alike is the both played tricks on Lynn and Second Sister and they both didnt ell either one about their plan.Like in Mariha Keeps Cool she was trying to plan surprise 4 Lynn. Another example was In the story Yang The Second, Yingto was trying to set Second Sister on a date with Paul and Second Sister wasnt to intrested in Paul.Although they werent alike because the surprise that Mariha prepared was a little bit nicer than setting up Second Sister on a date with Paul."We did it! Our trick worked."

  23. They are different because in mariah keeps cool, they are planning a suprise birthday party for lynn. But in Yang the second they try to get second sister to get some friends. They are alike because they both plan something to happen."I tink Lynn suspects something about the suprise party."

    ReplyDelete
  24. I think that they are alike more than different. One their are alike because it was a suspise to both of them and did not know it was coming. Lynn was very sursrised so was Second Sister. Also it was different because they were both for different reasons. "Lynn lookes surprised, truly happy."

  25. I think their diferent because yingtao wanted to get second sister sister freinds. and lynn wanted wanted to donate clothes.Thier alike because they wanted to do somthing nice to thier freinds and siblings.thier also alike because they both triked thier friends for a good reason."Yeah,he must have been really hurt whenshe didnt say anything friendly to him'"

  26. Well,They both are trying to make somone happy by making them spend time with friends.But,one has been trying to get their sister to spend time with her friends,wile the other is trying to make their sister make a friend.Pluse,one has three siblings wile the other has one."Listening to the scornful way second sister talkedabout Paul,I decided that it would be a great joke after all to get the two of them togeter,like that couple in the movie."

  27. i think it was a good thing to prank 2sister becuase hse wouldent have any frinds and she will be a by herself at school."sudenly he took a deep breath and said in a rush, dose your sister ever out with boys,you know ,on dates?"

    ReplyDelete
  28. both tricks are alike because they played it on their sisters and because there both for good reasons. One of them was so she can make friends.The other was a suprise part.They are diffrent because ones about heritage and the other is about a party."you know that boy Paul Eng?he told me he had never seen or heard the instroment before."

  29. In Mariah keeps Cool it was different because she was throwing a surprise party for her little sister and the whole point of a sur prise is for the guest of honor not to know. in Yang the Second her brother and sister were playing a trick on her to get a new friend. I think they were alike beacuse they were both getting tricked by their sisters and they did them on purpose. "Think Second Sister is finished in the pantry. Lets start when she goes up stairs.

  30. Both tricks in Yang the Second and Mariah Keeps Cool are alike because they were trying to help the person they were tricking, they both tricked girls, and they dident have to hurt someones fellings during the prosses. They are diffrent because third sister and eldest brother were trying to help Yang get frends and in Mariah Keeps Cool Mariah had to trick Lynn so they can get her to have a party WITH freinds. Heres a quote from page 395 when third sister though tricking second sister might be mean. "She looked so unhappy sometimes i thought it would be maen playing a trick on her."
