Quotes in Inside Out and Back Again
Eighteen-year-former Brother Vū is Hà's second-oldest brother. He's tall, muscular, and adores Bruce Lee, so he studies martial arts and often impresses girls by karate-chopping forest or bricks in half. Hà finds Brother Vū (and their other brothers) annoying—particularly when, in Alabama, he begins insisting that anybody call him Vu Lee. However, Hà is also envious of Blood brother Vū, as he seems shockingly unbothered when he experiences racist bullying at school in Alabama. She begs him to teach her to fly-boot so she tin can fight back against her bullies, but instead, he offers to teach her—and eventually, many kids and adults in the neighborhood—defense, for reasons that he refuses to explain. He also rescues Hà from Pink Boy'south bullying, and around this time, Hà learns why he refused to teach her to fight: it doesn't feel skilful to hurt others. Bated from martial arts, Brother Vū's other love is cooking. He works as a cook at the refugee army camp in Guam and then gets an after-school job flipping burgers in Alabama. At the terminate of the novel, he defies Female parent and insists on going to San Francisco to study at a cooking school.
