The fit for the “norm” forces a lot of people having to “conform” to the culture and the strive for “superior cultures”. Starting from “It’s American so you know it’s good” (11), constantly throughout the book, Sookie and Hyun Jin unconsciously choose American-style food, believe anything associated with America is more powerful, praises American societal values, etc. (16, 22, 43, 60, 227). I also see similar circumstances in which the society in Taiwan view “American” as “good”, “right”, or just “better”. Funny story from my friend: My friend grew up in the US until 7th grade and went back to a local school in Taiwan to continue her studies. Every time the class had an English test, the graders used her test as answer key and gave her 100s on every test, saying, “Oh she must’ve been right because she came back from America”. However, something I’ve noticed is that on the grammar sections, students in Taiwan learned the more accurate grammatical rules while American students oftentimes mix in the colloquial usages. In this aspect, students who received Taiwan’s English education may have better results compared to native English speakers. It is the assumption and idea of “you’re right because you’re an American” that reflects the strive for superior cultures ingrained in the society.
