Answer:

Amy Tan uses details to show that her family's meal was embarrassing. Her description of her father burping uses imagery because the reader can imagine hearing her father's burp. The guests are astonished, which means they are shocked, because this custom is different. Robert's red face is another description that helps the reader picture him being embarrassed as well. The minister's burp is quiet, and he seems embarrassed by the custom too. Amy says this moment made her silent for the rest of the night, which shows that she is embarrassed.
