| Summary: | Filipino-foreigners are often misunderstood when they return to their homeland. To generalize, their assertiveness is quickly interpreted by locals as aggresive . In addition to coping with this, a problem-child orphan, the main Filipino-foreigner of the story, finds difficulty in being accepted into Canadian culture, her non-biological nuclear family, moreover, the locals she has encountered within the urban culture in the Philippine setting. According to a study conducted on autobiographical content, 70% of an author's written life dwelled on the past whereas the remaining 30% was about the present. This author aims to write about the past events in Canadian culture that have brought her to struggle in the present-day Manila setting, delving primarily on trying to resolve the problem of having to live in a place very strange to what she had considered home, by recounting the events, places and people she has encountered from the past to the present day. |
