Quote #10
No one spoke. All knew they were thinking the same thoughts. How could they have left the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival slip by without realizing it? Americans did not commemorate the fullest moon of the year, but the Wongs had done so for centuries. (11.2)
As they become more Americanized, the Wongs leave behind some of their Chinese traditions. Because America doesn't celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival, the Wongs forget about it until they got a wake-up call from the family's patriarch. By looking forward, they forgot what was behind them. Maybe the solution lies in a happy medium between the two.
