Misunderstandings arose from cultural differences from "summary" of The First Generation by Hannah Ritchie

Throughout the narrative, it becomes evident that many of the conflicts and tensions that arise among the characters stem from their cultural differences. These differences in background, values, and beliefs often lead to misunderstandings and miscommunications that escalate into larger issues. For example, when Lily, who comes from a traditional family with strict cultural norms, clashes with her American-born daughter, Sarah, who is more independent and individualistic, their differing perspectives on family dynamics and personal freedom create friction between them. Lily's expectations of obedience and respect clash with Sarah's desire for autonomy, leading to frequent arguments and strained relationships. Similarly, when Tom, a second-generation immigrant, struggles to balance his parents' traditional Chinese values with his desire to assimilate into American society, he finds himself caught between two worlds. The cultural expectations placed on him by his family clash with the societal norms he encounters outside of the home, creating internal conflict and confusion. These examples illustrate how cultural differences can give rise to misunderstandings and conflicts that have far-reaching consequences for the characters in the story. By exploring the complexities of cultural identity and the challenges that come with navigating multiple cultural worlds, the narrative sheds light on the ways in which individuals grapple with their cultural heritage and the expectations placed upon them by society and family.
