3. In a well-developed paragraph (6-8 sentences), explain how Yang’s use of stereotype and/or caricature contributes to his message.  (You will need to identify the theme or message first. Then you will need to think about how stereotype and/or caricature help to get it across.  If one or both were not used, would anything be lacking?)
