When she's taken to Yamaguchi, it is complete horror since there were bodies of rotting flesh and she had to adjust. Sachi went insane because she wasn't used to these living conditions.
Nine years later I shared my struggle of being caught between two cultures with my eleventh-grade English class. We had been discussing an essay, "Does America Still Exist?" by Richard Rodriguez who believes that cultural assimilation exists in the United States.

Not celebrating assimilation creates the impression that America is allowing immigration solely because the economy needs it.
She had asked in terror about what had occurred." In fact, the word "No" grew up with the young girl from the beginning when the man raped her. In the short story "The Answer Is No" there were two choices that the young girl had to choose from. The two choices that she had in the end were miserable and sad.
