Analyzing Amy's 'Pressure To Fit In'

I empathize the most with Amy since she feels the pressure to fit in and the anxiety of something going wrong. After Amy learns that Robert and his family are coming over for Christmas Eve dinner, Amy feels pressured since she wants the dinner party to be perfect by having roasted turkey, sweet potatoes, and none of her relatives or parents embarrassing her, so Robert’s, family can enjoy it. Amy was nervous because she didn’t know how Robert would react to their Chinese tradition and if it wasn’t perfect then she thought they would be disappointed or disgust especially Robert her crush. Amy learns how difficult it is to fit in and to be accepted for her culture by Robert's family. For instance, her shame in embracing her family customs. However, she learns to have self-confidence and be accepted for who she is. This represents how you should not be pressured because you want to be someone or because you are embarrassed of your heritage.
She was embarrassed since they both had different heritage. She learns that she should not worry too much because at the end of the day you learn something new, like you are like American girls but inside you always be Chinese. Also, I learned that I shouldn’t be having anxiety when I having friends coming over, I shouldn’t be worried because everyone has anxiety of something bad happening. I shouldn’t be worried about the way my parents act because my background is Sri Lanka and I shouldn’t worry about how my house, clothing looks, and the food we eat. Now I understand that I should be embarrassed and understand about my heritage. In conclusion, I can relate with Amy because of her struggle to fit in and she gets worried about something going
