Abstract
When I’m asked where I’m originally from, I can proudly say I’m from South Korea, where the 2018 Winter Olympics were held; a cool K-Pop band, BTS, is from; where Samsung, LG, and Hyundai make high-quality electronics and cars; and so many other wonderful things. However, many immigrant children, like Lola in Islandborn (Diáz), do not know much about their heritage (Suárez-Orozco and Suárez-Orozco). Some left their home when they were too little to remember anything, while others may not stay connected to the birthplace or heritage because they are too busy or stressed about adjusting to a new home. Many have a difficult time assimilating to a new culture because it often requires giving up what is familiar, beloved or standard.
