Dinner threw me deeper into despair. My relatives licked the ends of their chopsticks and reached across the table, dipping them
into the dozen or so plates of food. Robert and their family waited patiently for platters to be passed to them. What message does Amy Tan's description send?
Her relatives are hungry, and Robert's family is not.
Her relatives are eager, and Robert's family is hesitant.
Her relatives are coarse, and Robert's family is reserved.
Her relatives are energetic, and Robert's family is lazy.
