I was greeted with a smile and politely asked if I was dining alone or awaiting a party. The only difficulty I faced, was trying to understand the greeter’s accent.

Tan’s mother took great pride in her Chinese culture; while her daughter often tried to become more Americanized and forget her origins (“Amy Tan” 1).
