I found it interesting to see how immigrants who have been in the US for a lengthy period still struggled to figure out where they belonged.  The constant feeling of being an "outsider" has to be very difficult.  It also makes the reader aware that how people "behave" might be due to a cultural behavior  , normal to them, not normal for us.
