Explanation:
The author of A Jar of Dreams is also among the people like Rinko who feel that they are living in between their two cultures and are not proud of different heritage
The first evidence to this is that when the author feel stuck between two cultures and cannot decide if they are only Japanese or American
Second evidence is the description of feeling that they are left out of the community due to this cultural difference
Third is that the author shares the fear of Rinko that she feels that other value would take her customs in a negative way
