Read the following excerpt from Gary Soto’s story "Like Mexicans."
We talked for an hour and had apple pie and coffee, slowly. Finally, we got up with Carolyn taking my hand. Slightly embarrassed, I tried to pull away but her grip held me. I let her have her way as she led me down the hallway with her mother right behind me. . . . Carolyn waved again. I looked back, waving . . . . Her people were like Mexicans, only different.

The narrator is embarrassed about his own Mexican identity even though there is no reason to be.
