two worlds

They tried to make it clear to the boy that you should not learn anything else besides the Chinese culture; everything else to them was abnormal. "This woman at the spinning wheel is also a foreigner, we use the right hand to spin but she uses her left" (Hsiang 12). The young boy is caught between two cultural identities, the identity he is learning in school and the identity his family members tell him to be. His family has the right to teach him the Chinese culture traditions as well as allowing him to experience new cultures.

It also happens to be that Mabry comes from a poor family in which his mother was struggling "working 24 hour a day cases as a practical nurse" to be able to provide a life for herself and her children. In this case he and his family knew that the only thing to do about it is to get an education and that even built within him a "proud feeling.
