After reading the memoir, "Hello, My Name is" by Jason Kim and Pashmina by Nidhi Chanani both selections share the same theme, one must experience struggle in order to discover who they are in life. For example, Jason Kim experiences personal identity struggles being a Korean moving to America, he states, "I committed the two worst sins a Korean son could possibly commit: I stopped speaking Korean and stopped eating Korean." While in the graphic novel, Priyanka's struggles didn''t necessarily come from being Indian in America, but wanting to know more about her Indian culture, "[feeling] it [would] help [her] understand," more about who she was and where she came from (80). In essence, both pieces help the audience understand that in order to truly experience what life is like from a different perspective, one must  learn for themselves by either rejecting their own culture first, or looking deeper into their culture to help them discover their true identity and where they belong in this world.
