Explanation:

"The Bane of the Internet,"Your The author of the story is Ha Jin. He (a male) is not the same as the character in the story, the unnamed female narrator who lives in America. The narrator is the older sister to Yuchin who lives in China. Theme in the story, do not use only the theme of the materialism of Yuchin, the sister in China.

Two sisters, one in Brooklyn, the other in China, correspond via email.

The one back in China's recently divorced from an abusive husband. She keeps hitting her sister up for money, this time for a car. She threatens to sell her organs if she doesn't get the loan (or is it a donation).

My sister Yuchin and I used to write each other letters. It took more than ten days for the mail to reach Sichuan, and usually I wrote her once a month. After Yuchin married, she was often in trouble, but I no longer thought about her every day.

Last fall she began e-mailing me. At first it was exciting to chat with her every night. We stopped writing letters. I even stopped writing to my parents, because she lives near them and can report to them. Recently she said she wanted to buy a car. I had misgivings about that, though she had already paid off her mortgage. Our hometown is small. You can cross by bicycle in half an hour; a car was not a necessity for her. It's too expensive to keep an automobile there - the gas, the insurance, the registration, the maintenance, the toll fees cost a fortune. But she got it into her head that she must have a car because most of her friends had cars.

Then she told me that she had just passed the road test. She e-mailed: "Sister, I must have a car. Yesterday Minmin, our little niece, came to town driving a brand-new Volkswagen. At the sight of that gorgeous machine, I felt as if a dozen awls were stabbing my heart. Everybody is doing better than me, and I don't want to live anymore!"

I realized she didn't simply want to impress her ex. She too had caught the national auto mania. I told her that was ridiculous, nuts. I knew she had some savings. I urged her to be rational. That was impossible, she claimed, because "everybody" drove a car in our hometown. I said she was not everybody and mustn't follow the trend. She wouldn't listen and asked me to remit her money as a loan. She already had a tidy sum in the bank, about eighty thousand yuan, she confessed.
