A theme developed in “Bul-GO!-gi” is that each new generation has to find a balance between honoring tradition and being unique. What details from the story help develop this theme? How does the character of Ji-Suk help develop this theme? Use at least four examples and evidence from the text to support your response. Your response should be at least two complete paragraphs.

The way the protagonist has always felt in a conflict between the American culture and the Korean culture of her parents is what helps her to develop the theme. Ji-Suk, as the protagonist, raises her child differently from the way she was raised, especially with cultural tradition.

We can arrive at this answer because:

"Bul-GO! - gi" tells the story of how Ji-Suk, a Korean-American girl who felt in a great cultural conflict.

Ji-Suk's parents forced her to participate in Korean culture and prioritize that culture over American culture.

However, as she was fully involved with American society and identified more with that culture, Ji-Suk felt in constant conflict.

When she had a son, Ji-Suk didn't want to force Korean culture on her son, as she recognizes that he is American and lives in American society, regardless of his ancestry.

She doesn't want her son to live in cultural conflict and wants him to have a different experience from hers.

In this case, we can say that there is a difference between the generations of Ji-Suk and her son. While Ji-Suk's generation was obligated to uphold the cultural traditions of their parents, Ji-Suk's son's generation has no such obligation.
