No one should be singled out because of the difficulty of pronouncing ones name. There was a wide diverse world out there, full of things we’ve never heard of or seen. The main idea that Dumas wants to get across, is everyone needs to be more open-minded to other cultures. I will now break down Firoozeh’s excerpt for further analysis. She feels Americans were not open to accept her culture and difference, and instead of embracing it, they made fun and insulted what they were unsure of.īased on the simplicity of words she uses, the mild tempered language she includes, and how relatable her story is, I think she intended her audience to be anyone, but mainly clueless insecure Americans, and immigrants who all might have experienced this at some point. The author would like her audience to be aware of other cultures, and their names and lifestyles. Dumas uses examples from her childhood and all throughout her life to explain why she feels Americans are ignorant to new and different things. In “The F Word” written by Firoozeh Dumas an excerpt from her autobiography titled Funny in Farsi, she talks about her struggles living in America from having a very different name, to not understanding English very well.
