1. Rachel Chu is an "ABC" and American born Chinese and college economics professor she is getting married to her fiance Nicholas Young who is apart of the Young family where they are very rich (Crazy Rich Asians Book 1). Rachel has everything she has wanted, a nice oval cut engagement ring given to her by her future mother-in-law, and an amazing wedding dress, but the thought of walking down the aisle without her father saddens her. Until an accidental identity reveal of her father sets her off on a journey to find him. This is where she ends up in China finding out people are even more crazy rich or in this books case China rich.
2. The theme of this novel would be where it portrays a world of wealth and privilege.
3. The authors name is Kevin Kwan and as I imagine who he is and how his morning routine might be I can picture him having a nice warm cup of coffee with a bright sun and a good hearty breakfast of a regular sunny-side up with bacon(he seems like the bacon type of guy) and a piece of toasted bread with butter. He also seems the type to wake up pretty early, I say around 7:00 to 9:00 in the morning. He also seems the exploring type of person maybe he had first hand experience going to China or Singapore and seeing rich families since China has high prestige rich families or maybe he himself is from a rich family. "The Palace of Eighteen Perfections was an opulent eighth-century imperial retreat in the mountains north of modern Xi'an" this excerpt talks about how The Palace of Eighteen-century are old scroll paintings from the Qing dynasty that will be auctioned off at an auction show. This shows that he knows a little bit about real historical Chinese artifacts and how he talked about auctions that are common in China. Another excerpt is "Upstairs in the plush VVIP skybox, Valerie and Lester were in seventh heaven as they rubbed elbows with the serious-money crowd over Laurent-Perrier champagne and canapes prepared by Cafe Gray" this shows that the author may have even experience in auctions or been to an auction where he got these ideas at.
4. Some literary devices that I saw throughout the book was personification, similes, allusions, hyperboles, and the most common of them all metaphors!
Allusion- "The auction-house staff stood over the exquisite masterpiece in awed silence. A find of this caliber was like discovering a long-hidden painting by da Vinci or Vermeer."
Metaphor- "The Hong Kong and Exhibition Centre, situated right on the harbor in Wan Chai, boasted overlapping curved roofs that resembled a gigantic manta ray gliding through the water.
