The Joy Luck Club (p. 151).

They would be stripped out of their citizenship. They would be taken out onto the high seas and then shot. They would be sent to a desert island and left there to die. They would all be deported to Japan. They would never be allowed to leave America […] You’ve been brought here for your own protection, they were told.

9. FRAGMENTS TO ILLUSTRATE MULTICULTURALISM IN THE USA ‘At school,’ Apá said, ‘they’re going to teach you about being an American, mi’jo. That in this country, we speak English.

10. BEGINNINGS In my younger and more vulnerable years my father gave me some advice that I’ve been turning over in my mind ever since. “Whenever you feel like criticising anyone,” he told me, “just remember that all the people in this world haven’t had the advantages that you’ve had.” F. S. Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby

11. BEGINNINGS Here is the house. It is green and white. It has a red door. It is very pretty. Here is the family. Mother, Father, Dick, and Jane live in the green-and-white house. They are very happy. See Jane. She has a red dress. She wants to play. Who will play with Jane? See the cat. It goes meow-meow. Come and play. Come play with Jane. The kitten will not play. See Mother. Mother is very nice. Mother, will you play with Jane? Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye
