Differences That Make Us Unique: Fish Cheeks And Melting Pot

Differences That Make Us Unique

Imagine a scenario in which we were all the same. For instance, if we all had the same skin color, the same type of favorite t.v. show, and if we all acted the same, the world will be extremely dull. In this world, we all have distinctive traits which make us a one-of-a-kind person. Some differences that we have are like wearing glasses, different types of color hair, and different skin color. These differences make us who we are. According to me, no one else in the world is the same as we are. We are one individual. There are so many people who are different in their own extraordinary ways. Sometimes people will think that others are acting weird or liking something odd and people desire they were everyone
People should be accepted for being different because we're all divergent in our own ways. People have differing interests, traits, preferences, and much more and they need all need to be regarded. The theme that it is important to who we are and the differences that make us unique is a common thread that not only runs through “Fish Cheeks” and “Melting Pot” but is also important in my life (or our world today).

One quote from the story "Fish Cheeks" is, “At the end of the meal, my father leaned back and belched loudly, thanking my mother for her fine cooking. "It's a polite Chinese custom to show you are satisfied," explained Amy’s father. This pivotal quote from "Fish Cheeks" indicate that when he burped boisterously, it was a

Most of the time, I wish I had similar clothes like the other people. Later on, they started getting used to it and then I knew that they need to accept of what people look like. I was distinctive in my own particular uncommon way. The differences are important and they should be respected. Therefore, this personal example shows that when I was younger, a lot of kids stared at me because of what I was wearing and how I was acting. Most of the time I wish was just like them, but later on, I knew that I wanted to be different. All of our differences needed to be accepted because the differences made us who we are. Another example is that when my family and I came to America from India. I noticed that we were different from them. I felt nervous and segregated in my mind, even though no one said anything about it. I felt that I was about to go through a tornado when I first stepped into America. The Americans all had different clothes, ways to eat food, and much more. I sensed that I didn’t belong here. I just immediately wanted to leave. Then, my mom told me we are all different and that is in a good way of saying. Every one of us is special in our own way like the way we eat, our own particular culture,
