"Thanks to my father's translations, we stayed away from catfish, hot dogs and hush puppies."
I can relate to this because I have been to restaurants where the menus are in Italian or some other language, and I have no idea what kind of food they're offering until I find something I've had before like spaghetti.
"And my parents still don't understand why teenagers want to be cool so they can be hot."
This reminds me of my parents because it seems like they don't understand a lot about teenagers today, I know they were teenagers once too, but that was quite a while ago. Sometimes parents just do not understand.
This is relates to Sundara because her aunt, Soka, and uncle, Naro, do not understand a lot of things about American culture, and it takes them a while to learn the language and accept the culture, which is understandable.
I have also been to a restaurant where I couldn't figure out what the food was, I think that it must have been very hard for her family to live in a place where they didn't speak the language.
