...went through this hideous age when suddenly they were the devil, they were bullies, and they didn't know anything. Pygmy's host family treats America as this place where everything is perfect. But Pygmy is trained to treat America as that bully, the oppressor, the evil idiot. Eventually beyond both of those stages you break into accepting your parents as human beings who are not perfect but who love you and are really doing the very best they can. Pygmy breaks through to recognizing these evil bullies as being loving people who don't know everything...
