Analysis of Inside Out and Back Again
The cowboy is Hà'due south family's sponsor when they arrive in the U.S. Though his name is actually Mr. Johnston, Hà never calls him this and only refers to him every bit her family unit'south cowboy. She does this because he wears a tall cowboy lid and cowboy boots, has a big belly, and smokes cigars—and in Hà'southward heed, this means he'south a cowboy and must own a equus caballus. In reality, though, he's a car salesman and wants to sponsor Brother Quan so he can teach him to repair car engines. Hà experiences a major crisis when she finally asks the cowboy if she tin ride his equus caballus, and she learns from Quan that not only does the cowboy not own a equus caballus, merely that horses also say "neigh" in America, not "hee" similar they exercise in Vietnam. The cowboy is very supportive of Hà'southward family: he helps them settle in their own house, registers Hà for school, and regularly brings gifts. When Hà's family unit becomes victims of racist threats, he also calls the police and introduces the family to their neighbors. His wife, though, isn't nearly as welcoming or supportive—she refuses to even smiling at Hà'south family until they hold to exist baptized at the local Baptist church.
