The article, Culture Convo, by Meghan Chao and Verona Maliqi on boothwarriortimes was interesting. I think that the story was a fantastic approach to introduce people to different cultures and traditions in a fun way. I cherished the fact that both characters had time to spend their holidays together. The plot was entertaining, and I enjoyed how interactive it was. Overall, I thought this was a terrific narrative, though I do believe that if you had included a few more characters, the plot would have been a little bit more intriguing. This is something I would read again and again!

I think its a great story and its relatable because some people often don’t understand other religions so they sometimes need it to be explained to them they celebrate different holidays in different religions so it’s a fun way to connect to talk to people from a different religion or nationality to find out the different traditions and beliefs of other religions.

The article, ‘’ Culture Convos’’ by Meghan Chao and Verona Maliqi, showed how an easy and respectful exchange of information on a friend’s culture can happen. I personally like how respectful each of the girls were. The conversation was very understanding and had good communication . Since Christmas is a tradition I participate in, it was very exciting to see someone learn about it in this article. When Lisa expressed that she didn’t celebrate Christmas, it made me very happy to see that Loreri didn’t get upset. Neither did Loreri ask her to reconsider. I am excited to see stories that have great representation like this.

This article was truly an amazing way to show different cultures, traditions, and religions, such as Christianity and Islam. It showed how we should respect and love one another despite our religious beliefs. Also, I loved how it educated non-believers, of either religion, about their culture and traditions. As a Christian, I just loved how it just really showed respect, and that’s what we really need in this world. Overall, this story was great!

I think the story, “Culture Convo,” by Meghan Chao and Verona Maliqi was very entertaining and teaches a good lesson. It shows how people celebrate different holidays, from different cultures. I grew up like Lisa, celebrating Christmas. I have a friend who is like Lorelei who celebrates a holiday different from mine. In conclusion, I loved this story and it helped me learn about different cultures.

It teaches you many different aspects of Muslim and Christmas such as when it takes place, why you celebrate it, and what it is about. I love how it incorporates both religions while not taking a side. I loved how it was interactive including many different options to drive the story in a different way. This was so great and filled my mind with the information about the cultures in this presentation. It was so good you should make more including more information about different cultures.

I think the article, Culture Convo by Meghan Chao and Verona Maliqi was very good because it teaches people who don’t know how other people celebrate different holidays. I grew up like Lisa, celebrating christmas. This article is also a great way to show how different cultures do different things when celebrating. Overall I think this was a great article!

The article Culture Convo by Megan Chao Co and Verona Maliqi On boothwarriortimes I can relate to because I have had to explain to someone my religion I understand why some people don’t understand other people’s religion because their not apart of it and that’s okay you don’t have to know everything about other people’s religion if it’s not yours it’s the way you explain it determines if they go on to understand other religions you have to understand if everyone doesn’t know your religion you still have to be nice to people with other religion’s just like you would be nice to people of another race.

The article Culture Convo by Megan Chao and Verona Maliqi made me learn many new things about Muslims and Christian culture.
Violet bine • Apr 24, 2023 at 8:57 pm
I think this was a great story sharing different traditions and cultures. Includeing things like being Muslim and the different things that you do to celebrate it. Another thing is what Christmas is and the different tradtions that happen in that culture. I think it is a great way to learn about cultures and I liked how the story line went. (I liked the charaters.)

The article, Culture Convo, by Meghan Chao and Verona Maliqi on boothwarriortimes was personal. I related to Lisa because I don’t celebrate Christmas either. I admire how she’s open about her beliefs and isn’t afraid to share them; I also love how Lorelei understood and listened to Lisa. This story shows people how to be open-minded and accepting of others despite their different customs or traditions. Culture Convo story can be informative and a perspective change for some people. I hope there will be more stories like this in the future.

The article Culture Convos, by Meghan C., Verona M., and Rebekah C. was very fascinating.
I always find reading articles to be very plain and boring, but this is such a great way to learn. Rather than reading an article, I felt like I was reading a story.
I never knew how different holidays were around the world. It was so interesting to learn about the different cultures. I would love to know how many other cultures there are instead of christmas.
Hayden A • Feb 7, 2023 at 11:39 pm
I think it was great that you were able to bring in the cultures in a natural and realistic way along with using it to develop the story. I learned a lot about other cultures from this as well. Great job!
Mirian • Feb 6, 2023 at 9:39 am
This story was fascinating and had a good plot. I like how you they added what they explained two culture and different traditions/celebrations they celebrate. They added a lot of information for those who want to learn more about other cultures.
