Explanation:

To answer these questions, we analyze the two texts:

1. How 14 - year - old Amy feels (from Fish Cheeks)

14 - year - old Amy feels embarrassed about her Chinese heritage during the dinner. She is self - conscious about the traditional Chinese food and customs, wishing to fit in with American culture and not stand out because of her cultural differences.

2. How 13 - year - old Laufey feels (from Letter to My 13 - Year - Old Self)

13 - year - old Laufey likely feels insecure, perhaps struggling with self - identity, and may have feelings of not fitting in or being unsure of her place in the world, as is common in early adolescence.

3. How Amy feels about the dinner as a grown - up

As a grown - up, Amy appreciates the dinner. She realizes the value of her Chinese heritage, the love and care that went into the meal, and regrets her earlier embarrassment, seeing the dinner as a precious memory of her family and culture.

4. How Laufey feels as a grown - up

As a grown - up, Laufey likely feels more confident and at peace with herself. She has gained self - understanding and acceptance, and looks back on her 13 - year - old self with compassion and wisdom.

5. What Amy would tell her younger self now

Amy would tell her younger self to be proud of her Chinese heritage. She would say that the things she was embarrassed about are what make her unique, and that she should embrace her culture instead of trying to reject it to fit in.

6. What Laufey would tell her younger self

Laufey would likely tell her younger self to be kind to herself, that the insecurities she felt were temporary, and that she will grow into a confident person who accepts and loves herself.

These answers are based on the typical themes of self - identity, cultural acceptance (in Fish Cheeks) and adolescent self - discovery and later self - acceptance (in Letter to My 13 - Year - Old Self).
