Answer 2

To show how different Amy’s family’s customs are from Robert’s

Explanation:

Fish Cheeks is a story about Amy, a Chinese girl, and her family. They invited the minister`s family to Christmas Eve dinner. Amy is in love with their son Robert. Amy was afraid how the evening will turn out because their customs differ a lot and Robert`s family might think something bad about her family. They are loud and their behavior is much more relaxed than it is in a middle-class American family. So what her father did was just an act of courtesy which minister`s family tried to follow. Amy felt so embarrassed. After the dinner was over, her mother said that it is okay that she wants to be socially accepted, but that she should not give up her origin.
