In the last section of her essay, the author describes how her mother polished her grandmother's shoes on the day she had to a nursing home. The grandmother "left her house walking, supported by her children, carrying her pocket book, and wearing her polished black shoes." Explain why this story is significant to the author.

Story: Growing Up Asian in America

Answer:

This story is significant for the author because he can see the family uniting in taking his grandmother, lined up and tidy, to the nursing home, being supported by those she supported, her children.

Explanation:

"Growing Up Asian in America" is reinforcing the role of the family in establishing self-recognition in a culture and in a people. This shows how the family has an important weight in each person's life, especially at the moment, when each individual is more fragile. This family concept is touching for the author when he sees the whole family helping to take his grandmother to a nursing home. The grandmother supported the children when they needed it and now it is her turn to receive their support.

Answer:

This story is significant to the author because during it she saw how her mother and relatives worked in unison to help and provide support for her grandmother who lived in her own home, but who also could no longer live alone. That is, they made sure she felt cared for and not forgotten, which must have made this transition in her life much easier to cope with. The text implies the author's grandmother perhaps accepted this change rather quickly and did not really resist as many other elderly people do. These people (from what I have heard) feel like they lose control over their lives and are abandoned by their children at these nursing homes, where they think that they only leave when they die. It is really quite sad when you think about it. However, this family made sure this women didn’t feel this way, and the author took note of it. Especially her mother's actions during this time, which truly conveyed her values and further helped to develop the the author’s description of her identity as a Japanese American women.

Explanation:

This is what I answered in my exam, I derived my answer from what I learned through out the essay on how the author ( Noda) viewed her mother and how this came to be in the section that was under "I am a Japanese American women". Her mother's actions in response to what was happening to Noda's grandmother really impacted Noda and on her perspective of Japanese women. So, well, she included this story in her essay, which also helped support one of her purposes ( her reason for writing), that is to reach acceptance with her own identity as a Japanese American woman. This is really important because at first Noda saw her mother as "a figure in whom I thought I saw all that I feared most in my self", which was fitting into the stereotype of Japanese people being only silent and passive.

I know its a long response, but I hope this helps you :)

His countenance was thoroughly good-humoured; and his manners were as friendly as the style of his letter. Their arrival seemed to afford him real satisfaction,
and their comfort to be an object of real solicitude to him. He said much of his earnest desire of their living in the most sociable terms with his family, and pressed
them so cordially to dine at Barton Park every day till they were better settled at home, that, though his entreaties were carried to a point of perseverance
beyond civility, they could not give offence. His kindness was not confined to words; for within an hour after he left them, a large basket full of garden stuff and
fruit arrived from the park, which was followed before the end of the day by a present of game. He insisted, moreover, on conveying all their letters to and from the
post for them, and would not be denied the satisfaction of sending them his newspaper every day. He was

Why did Americans lose interest in Romanticism and Transcendentalism?

Which two words enhance the setting in this poem? War by Ellen Glasgow Ripples of ribbons borne on high, Bloodstains upon a brazen sky; From cannon belching on the plain, Fire that by fire is fought again. A flash where steel by steel is met; A fume of smoke and blood and sweat. Sharp from the smeared and trodden gorse The death-cry of a wounded horse. Dust of a plain ground into red By armies of majestic dead. Gaunt shadows on the changeless sky, A flock of vultures swarming nigh. Mid ashes where a hearth has stood, Children that cry aloud for food. Where green the peaceful highways run, A woman ravished in the sun. And far across the reeking sod A Nation sounding thanks to God.
