![]() His dad met his mom in the Army and brought her back to the States, so Park's just as unaware of Korea as anyone else in Omaha. Park himself, though, doesn't really know what to make of being Korean, saying, "I guess I don't really know what that means" (19.146-150). ![]() To this end, Park's identity is pretty closely tied to being Korean because that's what everyone else sees on the outside. With jet-black hair and green eyes, he definitely doesn't look like anyone else in Omaha, Nebraska, where the Asian population at Park's school seems close to zero. He's half Korean (Irish dad, Korean mom), and unlike his younger brother Josh, he looks more Korean than anything else. Park's not into sports, partying, girls, or the social scene at his school, and he's just popular enough not to get teased, and just different enough not to belong. If you met Park Sheridan on the bus, you'd probably think he was cool, maybe a little weird, and definitely an outsider. ![]()
