characterization of the Lin family

Explanation:

The author develops how the Lin family has a different type of cooking meal and different menu. They are described as a family who tried new things when they went to dinner in an American family. Their way of cooking tells about the differences between the two countries, their habits, their cooking routine, and how is their reaction when they tried new things.

They are trying to adapt to new things and learn something more about the American lifestyle. The two cultures interchange their habits and manners. The Lin family learns how to deal with new ways of life and accepts it.

the pronoun reference replaces a noun, but you have to make sure there's no room for confusion.

in the first sentence "her" could be referring to shely or to the sister. the answer there is "shelly called her sister and told her about the new baby."

in the second sentence "it" could be referring to the roof or the floor. the answer there is "since the roof leaks on the family room floor, we need to repair the roof."
