Discuss Jeanne Wakatsuki's difficulty in assimilating into mainstream society, the racial prejudice she encounters due to her Japanese ethnicity, her struggles with respect for her father, and her difficulty in coming to terms with her Japanese roots while wanting to belong to the American culture in which she grew up and using her femininity as a tool to break the "intangible barriers" she writes about in order to fit in this society.
