Doesn’t mean I only eat rice and I’m 4’9’’
Look beyond the shape of my eyes and see me inside
Just because I’m Asian
It doesn’t mean I’m obedient and scared of my parents

Explanation / Answer
The lines include the poem versions of a group of children in school who belong to different race like asian,chinese,black, white and other asian race children.The poem version is written by a chinese girl in a school in USA where the small school girl is not interested in encountering burdensome tasks based on the community background and race of the girl.Further she emphasizes on her fundamental right of living alone with freedom without being opposed to work hard in the labor system and help in the development of new infrastructure,policies and platform for designing of various softwares and electronic hardwares with assembling of various parts in machinery as it is a common job in her home country.She is interested in living in society with lot of friends and lot of freedom as is evident in her poem.The comparison has been drawn with the writings mentioned in the book"Lord of the Flies" by william golding where he mentions a vocation of small children on a small island in pacific ocean where they start living along with their band of music tribes as they enjoy full freedom and liberty.Further they encounter situations where they see planes of two different countries fighting with each other and the plane gets crashed with the burnt body of pilot lying of the ground.The book contains the fundamental expression of freedom of living of children with expression of their talent in writing,painting and music on islands without social and parental hindrance in life.
