By using anaphora and metaphor, he is informing his son that the world he is about to dive into will not always be temperate, but can easily get hot. Chesterfield, just like any other dad, truly has his son’s best interest at heart.

In Randolph Bourne’s “Trans-National America” he rejects the concept of a cultural ‘melting pot’ intended to fuse together aspects of various cultures to form an inherently American one. In Puwat Chaukamnoetkanok's “Triply Identity: My Experience as an Immigrant in America”, Chaukamnoetkanok in part suffers an identity crisis upon arriving in the United States and finds himself filled with feelings of frustration and isolation.
