In “We’re Not…” by Andrea Roman and “Remembering My Childhood on the Continent of Africa” by David Sedaris, both authors respond differently to cultural changes. They both learn about the differences between the American and, either Bolivian culture for Roman or the African culture for Sedaris, but the difference is how they respond.
