5. Talusan says, “My parents avoided spending money on fast food; instead, my mother brought
freshly cooked rice and chicken adobo. I was embarrassed as I watched other families eat peanut
butter and jelly sandwiches and potato chips at rest-stop picnic tables” (p. 73). Why does Talusan
feel embarrassed? (6 points)
she is most likely embarassed because her peers are eating things she thinks are cool and she feels that if they see her they will think she is odd or weird.
