Waverly’s mother acts as an adversary to Waverly because she doesn’t allow her daughter to embrace American culture. Waverly has been raised in America and has been living here for a long time, experiencing the ways of the country; her mother, however, has little respect to the American way of life and work ethic and depicts this when she says, “Chinese people do many things…Not lazy like American people” (3).

Whenever Kyle had purchased a tool for his business his wife would go ahead and buy jewelry so she can be equal with her husband. She believes that he would be buying toys instead of actually something for the business. They both would argue a lot and then had divorced after two years.
