Ha is being turned inside out in the following ways she is struggling to speak english, she is struggling to understand the grammatical rules of english, she feels out of place, and she hates the food. The first quote comes from the poem “Forth Rule” and the quote is “Some verbs switch all over just because. I am, She is, They are, He was, They were. Would be simpler if English...were logical”. This quote shows how Ha struggles to understand the grammatical rules of english as she complains about how english is illogical and makes no sense. The second quote comes from the poem “Rainbow” and it happens when she is describing her new classmates. “Fire hair on skin dotted with spots...Hair the color of root on milky skin…White hair on a pink boy”.
