Article Title：From author to protagonist: Stories of self-identity development

Abstract：
Jean Fritz's Homesick and Laurence Yep's Child of the Owl share a lot in common. The two authors are both puzzled by their childhood experiences with acculturative stress and their personal identity. They search for answers to the meaning of the experiences in their stories respectively. Their stories of self-identity development are very different. The difference indicates that children are vulnerable to acculturation stress and often pay the price for cultural conflict.

Keywords:  culture; identification; acculturation; history
