32、high wire fence, the school I knew ten years ago remains the same.Every day at 5 p.m., instead of flying kites with our friends, my brother and I had to go to Vietnamese school. No amount of kicking, screaming, or arguing could stop my mother, who was determined to have us learn the language of our
33、culture. She held us by the collar and walked with us the seven long, hilly blocks from our home to school, leaving our tearful faces before the front of the school. We all sat in little chairs in a big empty room, which had a slight smell of old clothes that had been stored for a long time. I hated
34、 that smell. There was a stage far to the right, with an American flag on one side and the flag of the Republic of Vietnam on the other side.

36、 area. The voice belonged to my grandmother, a small old woman who could shout louder than anyone on the street. Her Vietnamese was quick, it was loud, it was not beautiful. In our area, the comings and goings of hundreds of Vietnamese on their daily tasks sounded crazy. I did not want to be thought
37、 of as being mad, as talking stupid. When I spoke English, people nodded at me, smiled and encouraged me. Even Vietnamese people would laugh and say that Id do well in life.My brother was even stricter than I about speaking English. He was especially cruel towards my mother, scolding her for her poo
38、r English. Bits of Vietnamese were often mixed in her conversation. After two years of struggle, I finally divorced my culture. I was permitted to stop Vietnamese school.
