ENGLISH 11B HELP! WILL FAN AND MEDAL!
Family
by Grace Paley
My father was brilliant embarrassed funny handsome
my mother was plain serious principled kind
my grandmother was intelligent lonesome for her
other life her dead children silent
my aunt was beautiful bitter angry loving

I fell among these adjectives in earliest childhood
and was nearly buried with opportunity
some of them stuck to me others
finding me American and smooth slipped away

What does the speaker of the poem imply about being american?
