Explanation:

The story we are analyzing here was written by Chinese-born American author Lensey Namioka, born in 1929 in Beijing, China.

"The All-American Slurp" is narrated by the daughter of the Lin family. Ever since they immigrated to the U.S., the narrator has been embarrassed by her family's behavior and etiquette. Their habits are seen as strange, and the narrator is often mortified. At a dinner at the Gleasons' house, for instance, her family behaves in a way that draws everyone's attention to them.

However, once the tables are turned, the narrator learns that there is nothing wrong with her or her family. It is all a matter of culture. When the Gleasons come to dine at her house, it is their etiquette that is inadequate. At first, the narrator was worried that her family would make a fool of themselves. But it is the Gleasons who have a hard time adjusting to the different customs. Yet, in spite of the differences and difficulties, the Gleasons have a great time and eat with glee. Thus, the Lins successfully host their American friends.
