Fish Sticks by Amy Tan

    

“Fish Cheeks” by Amy Tan, is a short story about a young Chinese girl who at one time was embarrassed of who she was.  This young girl had a crush on a young American boy named Robert.  One day her family invited Roberts’s family to their house for a Christmas dinner.  Amy was embarrassed of her heritage because in Chinese custom, it is polite to belch loud to show a sign of a well prepared feast.  So the only thing Amy could think was that Robert would not like her because of her culture.  All she wanted to be was a young American girl in thus being ashamed of her nationality.  Until one day her mother told her that no matter she does, how she dresses, and acts, she will never be able to change who she is inside.  This short story reminds me of a time when I was embarrassed of who I was.

            Growing up, I would always see my father and his friends drink at every family gathering.  As the day came that I was old enough to drink, I stood next to my dad and I opened a beer next to him.  All of his friends were staring at me like if I was robbing a bank or something.  I never felt so ashamed of my self wishing I could turn back time and never drank that beer around him, nor his friends.  Then at a later family gathering my father pulled me next to him and gave me a beer.  He told me I would rather you drink here in front of me and everyone, than to be a hypocrite.  Since that day, it thought me to always be self no matter where I am, or who I’m standing next too.
