The author of Fish Cheeks shows the awkwardness of

adolescence as the narrator's family and social life

collide. How does the author convey the issue of how

Amy addresses the shame felt by those living between

two cultures and how can you relate?

This short story presents the profound shame Amy feels due to the differences between her Chinese heritage and the American way of living. To do so, the author describes her feelings when the boy she likes and his family get to see her family's Christmas traditions, which she finds embarrassing because they differ from the American customs. Not only she criticizes her mother´s cooking, but also her entire family´s table manners. Only years after did she realize that her mother had cooked her favorite food for that Christmas Eve dinner, which shows Amy eventually came to terms with her conflict.

Explanation:

I understand the feeling of being embarrassed because of my family. Although in my case heritage is not a factor, I do have a family member with mental health issues that are very difficult for some people to understand. In order to ensure his safety, we had to develop certain practices and establish some rules that make it difficult to have friends over. I fear my friends could make fun of me if they see some of our customs, so I try to keep my social life and my family relationships apart.
