Read the passage on the right. Then, choose the sentence below that best states the theme.
"Why can't you just pack me salami or tuna sandwiches? That's what everyone else eats."
"Don't you like the lunches I pack you?" Abu seemed surprised that I was complaining.
"Of course I love your mansaf, Abu, but it . . . it just smells so strong. People think the jameed in it smells like dirty socks. I feel like everyone's staring at my weird food," I said.
"Are you ashamed of being different?"
I didn't answer my father. He continued, "We have a beautiful heritage. There is no shame in eating the foods your grandparents and great-grandparents ate! Never look down on your traditions, my child."
I knew in my heart Abu was right.

• It is hard to fit in.
• A person should be proud of his or her heritage.
• One should eat ethnic foods.
• Some people don't like to appear "different."
