Jacqueline Ng also presents a compelling argument for the use of digital storytelling as a means of exploring transnational identities and enhancing language learning.

As the author notes, "Many ELL students experience feelings of marginalization and displacement in their new surroundings" (Ng, 2021).

Lee then gave an accurate portrayal of their beliefs and daily life. However, for the students who saw Lee as an outsider their story might not have been illustrated the way they deemed to be true. Lee states that it was “difficult for me to gain the acceptance of the low-achieving Asian Americans” (Lee, 2009, p.21). Lee is unable to fully connect with some of the Asian american students, especially the new wavers. After interviewing a new wave student she states that “it was obvious I had offended her… I learned to be more careful about how I approached new wave students” (Lee, 2009, p.45).

In this week’s Ted Talk, Alison Gopnik focused on the thought process of babies. In the past, people believed that babies could not perceive another individual’s thoughts, however with the passage of time these believes have changed. To help us understand what babies could be thinking and if they acknowledge other people’s thoughts, Gopnik explained how she and one of her students tested this idea by using broccoli and crackers. The student gave 15 and 18 month-old babies two bowls, one with broccoli and the other one with crackers, and the babies showed more preference for the one with the crackers. The student, on the other hand, tasted the food from both bowls in front of the babies and acted as if she loved the broccoli and dislike the

Language is first learned as an infant by absorbing and mimicking one's environment, surroundings, and daily life. For some, like myself, more than one language is spoken, and learning how to balance multiple languages can be a challenge. Trying to integrate language with culture and environment at times can be interesting and other times demanding and tiresome. Maxine Hong Kingston describes her struggles in coping with the differences in her languages, coming to terms with herself, and accepting how her culture uses language in her essay, “The Language of Silence”. Although similar struggles are had by Christine Marin, she writes in her essay “Spanish Lessons”, about how she discovered her culture through language, how it empowered her, and how she learned to love that part of herself.

Segregation, however, is not as simple as the definition portrays. Segregation had been the very plague to root itself from not only within our nation but also inside of each of us. Even to this very day, segregation finds itself creeping into our now reformed society.

Interesting books, articles, and readings always grab my attention, especially the ones which make me think and change the way I think.

Although both of the characters left their homeland, in contrast to Jhumpa Lahiri who abandoned her native language and started to only write in Italian, Maxine Hong Kingston never abandoned her native language and even demonstrated herself only in it. First of all, both characters in the readings had origins of different countries, however, due to circumstances both of them moved to an environment different from their native one.
