Iranian writer, Firoozeh Dumas, in her narrative essay, “The F Word,”illustrates the challenges of having a different name in America. Dumas' purpose is to represent the importance of accepting one's identity and other's. Having a different name brought her a great challenge to fit in with her peers.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Firoozeh Dumas' purpose emphasizes the importance of not antagonizing someone for something they happened to be raised with as well as to describe her occurrences with others. She adopts a selfless pity, yet humorous tone in order to create a sense of empathy in her teens with similar circumstances.
