Read Fish Cheeks by Amy Tan
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?
Answer:
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.
It intensifies the conflict.
A complication adds to the problem of the story. The stories problem is the conflict. Many times there is more than one complication. When labeling a plot line for a story, the complications can be found in the rising action. This takes place between the exposition and the climax. The exposition of a story introduces the characters, setting, and conflict. The climax is the pivotal point in the conflict. The character can never return to the way things were when the story started out. Something or someone has been irrevocably changed.
