The story shows how hard it is to fit in when you’re not fully accepted by any group. Themes (identity, culture, resilience, portrayal of Latinos, diversity):The chapter talks about identityand culture, talking about the experience of being Mexican-American. It also talks about resilience; it mentions being strong despite the challenges of not being accepted or not truly knowing his identity. There’s a positive portrayal of Latinos, showinghis pride in his heritage and how he later accepts his heritage and is proud of it. The theme of diversity is also there where they talk about Mexican culture and American culture, they also show diversity as a sign of strength.Personal connections:For people with mixed backgrounds, this chapter can feel relatable, I personally also have a multicultural background, but I’ve personally always felt accepted with the people around me, but there are many people I know who have felt the way the author felt in this chapter. The author expresses the feeling of not being enough for one culture but finding comfort in having both, which could be relatable to many people.Stylistic choices and development:The author uses a simple and honest style, which makes the chapter feel personal. He adds Spanish words and personal stories, this makes the chapter feel more authentic. These choices help the audience understand his struggle and his journey to accepting himself.
