Long Answer
1. Mira is in conflict with herself because she does not know who she is or what her place is as an American. Due to the conflicting messages she has received throughout her life from others—family, friends, and lovers—she struggles to recover her self-worth. She finds that even her own family insults her skin, and when she tries to date, people either fetishize her or use her. As an adult, Mira struggles to find a writing job that takes her seriously, and her parents pressure her to enter an arranged marriage. Mira is also in conflict with the world around her due to her race, sexuality, gender, and political views. Mira disagrees with Trump and those who support him, and these disagreements reverberate throughout the country and the world.
