Week5 Question 9
In Response to Executives
The teenage Japanese-AMERICAN girl speaks freely, with the innocents of a child. I capitalized American because she speaks and comes off no different than any other adolescent here in America. Her favorite food is hotdogs and she does not prefer shop sticks. Ironically, her father whom probably grew up in his native country perhaps did not hear of hot dogs until coming to America. Also, when she talks about her issue her with chop sticks she seems talk about them like they are not large part of her native culture. She is very ignorant about her culture but it is obvious she is not to blame. Every ounce of her is American not literally as she may feel but in the figurative sense. She seems to know nothing more about her culture than any other American student might know about any other culture. Personally, I do not look at the young character in this poem any different then I would any other American teen. She speaks of what she is accustomed to and in this case it is not her native culture.
