Jean Fong Kwok's Disguises: A Review
Every other immigrants that comes here to America , no matter what type of race . Chinese Mexican African Asian Spanish Brazilian Australian etc. All these Immigrants come to America for one thing and one thing only . To live the American dream or to live a better life . Just like Ms.Chen from the amazing story Disguises by Jean Fong Kowk . Ms. Chen is a Asian Buddhist immigrant who comes to live the American Dream for herself and he family . She has struggles like every other immigrant in this country , but the main struggle for every immigrant is to speak a different language . Not just any language but the language they speak in that certain place . Which is hard for Ms.Chen because she has already mastered the language she spoke back home . In the story Ms.Chen gets lost while trying to go home and she doesn 't want to get help from any one because she is to embarrassed to speak English . That 's common right here in America . Most of the people here who are immigrants are the same as Ms.Chen . Either they cant speak that language or they 're to embarrassed to speak it because they have that back home accent and they think there going to make fun of them . As you can see moving into something new is not so easy for an immigrant.As language comes along , you actually need it because every immigrant that comes to America comes to find a better job to give there family a better living . There are many jobs in this country no doubt about that , but immigrants who don 't speak English have a hard time doing most of the high paying jobs . Instead , they have to take jobs that pay the minimum wage and if the boss is mean take all that cruelty there going give them . in addition , they cant do anything about it due to that they know they can get fire and have no job to maintain the family . Just like Ms.Chen with her supervisor . The supervisor is so mean and cruel to Ms.Chen just because she did a little mistake to a shirt . Then she said she wasn 't gonna pay her for
