High and mighty I stand without bothering your people‚ Yet you ravenously wreck the grounds of the feeble. What was once plenty is now

Seventeen Syllables by Hisaye Yamamoto Writing about integration into a completely different society and‚ even a completely different world‚ is‚ in my opinion‚ very difficult. To be able to really well describe all the feelings and conflicts which‚ unfortunately‚ are present while speaking about such an issue‚ one needs some own authentic experience‚ and since the author of this short story is of Japanese origin‚ there is a very good chance of reading a great piece of work. “Seventeen

My grandmother’s eyes darkened a shade of grey upon hearing the question that I had posed to her. The 74 years old matriarch had gone still for a few seconds that prolonged to a few minutes.
