Facing Poverty with a Rich Girl’s Habits
In ‘’Facing Poverty with a Rich Girl’s Habits’’ by Suki, Kim, Suki talks about how a Korean girl went by being wealthy to her family going bankrupt. I think that her most important point is that she is now a Korean-American who once lived in Queens, New York in 1980’s. In the essay Kim, talks about how she learned to adapt to a new way of living after losing everything that her family once owned. She begins to explain how she begins to accept who she had become, and how her outlook on her life changed after this transition had taken placed. The most important (pg62) that when she started middle school, her adjusting to the American culture Kim, did not know a thing about how to speak English. Another important point is that when that young girl who ‘’Faced Poverty with a Rich Girl’s Habits’’ managed to adjust and settle in the new life.
One of the main points that the author stated was that in Korea that they had nothing but respect for teachers and for their elders. Another supporting details in the essay on (pg63), said that she watched ‘’Three Company” in attempt to learn English. Kim, also mention that what was more brutal that learning English was Facing Poverty with a Rich Girl’s Habits. Kim took the public transportation to school for the first time instead of being driven to school.
I think that the writer’s purpose is that she now a Korean-American who once lived wealthy in Korea and then moved to the big city of Queens, New York, and then forced to learn English. I think, that Kim is trying to explain to the audience is not to judge or assume that you are better than someone else based on your families wealth, or personal gains. Kim stressed that it was challenging accepting a new way of living, to what she has been taught.
