How does peer pressure and social stigma effect Mona's view on how she fits into society, and her role in society?
The words of Rabbi Horowitz, Helen, and Callie effect Mona's view on how she fits into society by pressuring her to not become Jewish. Helen and Callie believe Mona should stay Catholic ; they believe that Chinese people should not be Jewish. The Rabbi believes it is just a temporary wish ; however, later in the chapter he becomes more lenient and accepts her conversion. Despite this peer pressure, she continues with her wish and does not allow their individual opinions to affect hers. Helen's opinion that Chinese people should keep to themselves and think of family first does affect her ; however this is better shown in the previous chapter(s).
