The answer is that the question is unsolvable. Should she use the common slang? If her school's culture uses a certain vernacular or behaves a certain way, should she "do as they do in Rome when in Rome?" Or should she be perfectly identified with who she was in the past. Yes, they are immigrants as well, and adjustment is difficult for them, but with entire lives and identities rooted in Palestine, they have do not see the tension that Amal feels every day. In her parents' characters, we see the other point of view. The cultural crossroads are difficult for Amal to navigate. This will likely sing out to anyone who like Amal is a first or second-generation immigrant. The people who are likely to identify most deeply with this book are those who feel loyalty to one traditional way of life, but who are still excited by the thought of fitting into their environment and making a wide variety of friends. This book is a wonderful foray into an experience that is well-known to a certain kind of person, but virtually invisible to others.
