Kaur and Ha are two women from two completely different cultures, but face some of the same conflicts. Kaur emigrated from India and Ha is a Vietnamese refugee fleeing the war. They try to continue their family tradition, but at the same time, build their own identity, shape and create their own life. These spectacular females have similar stories. First of all; they started out as extraordinary girls, embracing their family's values ​​and traditions. As they get older, they seem to notice how different they are in their new country, America. They do their best to try to become more American; they just want to fit in with everyone with American culture and tradition. Both Kaur and Ha are aware of their family values ​​and traditions. They are told that they must respect and implement traditions. Their families are very caring and supportive of what they do; mainly the mother; as they are in many cases; especially when it comes to girls. These two females are very interactive with their homeland; they come sometimes, which is a very good thing; we must never forget where they come from. Their actions will have an effect on their entire family; and that could mean the difference between denial, dishonor, retention, or elevation. They are both facing an internal conflict that could potentially escalate into something more serious. Kaur and Ha come from two completely different families, traditions and cultures. Although their main duty is to maintain their family tradition, their specific duties are entirely different. Presentation of the two girls; Kaur is a Vietnamese refugee who fled her country because of the war. On the other hand, Ha migrated to America from India because it was attacked by pirates. Kaur st...... middle of paper ...... distraught and in pain; but at least her mother finally lets her return to her house. Both Kaur and Ha experience similar struggles but with many differences. They both struggle to fit into American culture and find their identity and purpose in life, while meeting the needs of their family through their culture. They are two females from two different worlds. They are trying to build their own lives and have their own identity. The struggles these women went through are very common to women with a strong cultural background. Works Cited Ha, K. “American Dream Boat,” One World, Many Cultures. 8th ed. Ed.
