Read this excerpt from "The All-American Slurp." I turned to Mr. Gleason. He was chasing a pea around his plate. Several times he got it to the edge, but when he tried to pick it up with his chopsticks, it rolled back toward the center of the plate again. Finally he put down his chopsticks and picked up the pea with his fingers. He really did! A grown man! How does this event support the resolution of the story? It proves that the neighbors enjoy fun times together. It illustrates the importance of good table manners. It allows the narrator to teach her neighbors how to use chopsticks. It allows the narrator to see other people struggling with new cultures.
