After so many incidents, I was determined to learn this foreign language and prove to people that I wasn’t not lost in this country. Every day afterschool I would ask my family to help me with my English. One year later, I was able to understand what people around me were saying, and I could do basic communications with people. School came to me as an enjoying part of my day, something I looked forward to when going to bed, and an opportunity, a gift for me to learn the language of this new country.

This story begins to drive the sense of emotion with the very surroundings in which it takes place. The author starts the story by setting the scene with describing an apartment as poor, urban, and gloomy. With that description alone, readers can begin to feel pity for the family’s misfortune. After the apartments sad portrayal is displayed, the author intrigues the reader even further by explaining the family’s living arrangements. For example, the author states “It was their third apartment since the start of the war; they had

The interviewee for my project, Andres Alejo, is currently a graduate student at Carnegie Mellon University. He was so excited to express his opinions for this interview, as he grew up traveling back and forth between two cultures. Due to his father’s job, he traveled between the United States and the Dominican Republic until he was in fifth grade, when his family returned to the Dominican Republic to stay. During his time in the United States, his time was divided between Mt. Vernon, New York and Miami. Andres eventually returned to the United States to study Piano Performance at Boston Conservatory. His experience with learning English was not as difficult for him, since he started learning during his formative years. He mentioned that his

She was on vacation in Ocean City, Maryland with her family and her friend Natalie. They went for two reasons. They went because her father had received a raise from the technological corporation he works at, and she had torn a ligament in her knee from falling down the stairs. Koren and Natalie went to a Pizza Palace and asked an employee where the college parties were. Later they snuck out of the condo and down the street to a trolley stop. The trolley took them to a beach a couple miles away where they were offered beer and drugs from the people at the party. Koren and Natalie went to a college

In the short story,“St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves”, Karen Russell develops the characters in different ways. Jeanette, Claudette, Mirabella are raised by wolves and sent to a home to become less like wolves and more like humans. Throughout their time at St. Lucy's, the girls will go through stages to adapt to their own culture. Some may excel, while others will fail. The Jesuit Handbook on Lycanthropic Culture Shock helps guide the story and let the reader know what the girls know should be doing at that time in the story. It will also let the reader know if the girls are on track or not. Through each stage, a new epigraph tells us what is expected of the girls. For some, they may not meet the expectation, while some will.

The novel, Fifteen Dogs, written by André Alexis tells the story of fifteen dogs with their newfound human intelligence. Each dog respectively follows their own paths and holds their own thoughts. The journey each pup encounters is easily said to be defined by the cultural beliefs of the canadians present. The importance of the reader’s cultural beliefs play a large role in the appreciation of the novel as it influences their overall apprehension. This being said, as this particular society rules that dogs are “man’s best friend”, they get treated fairly friendly by most, apart for a few exceptions. In order to gain a more global perception of this topic, comparisons between various cultures and situations in the book will be made.

It was in an alley where someone found Lucy dead. Another important setting is Nick's house because that's where he showed a different side of him. When Ruby and Nick were in Ruby's car thats where they found out Alexis was kidnapped. Kenny took Alexis to the apartment across the street where Lucy was found. Another reason why the apartment is important is because that's where Nick was shot.

Even though I became very sentimental and emotional during this trip, it was an important experience in my life. These children opened up a whole new world for me, and I will never forget their pure hearts and thankful words. During this visit, I’ve promised myself to keep on helping people all over the world. After my return I took part in organizing Amnesty International club at school. During club meeting we discussed current events, looked for people who needed help, and organized events and bake sales as fundraisers to help

The immigrant family reached Cincinnati from New York City after a journey of three days. Karolina’s cousin and his family quickly disembarked from the train when they arrived and began walking with their luggage to their home in the northern part of the city called “Over the Rhine” because a canal separated it from the main part of Cincinnati. Most of the German immigrants were settling in this area and it had a European flavor including many taverns and beer gardens and where other Baden immigrants had settled. Karolina’s cousin Heinrich Sorg immigrated to America several years before. He originally settled in Kentucky, but as the city of Cincinnati grew he moved there.

I moved to America from Albania when I was little. English was not my first language so, I had to learn it by practicing my fellow classmates' example. I was a part of HILT, High-Intensity Language Training, in elementary school to help my language barriers. Before middle school began, teachers thought I no longer needed HILT. It was because I had worked hard to get be in the same place most other students were in. In high school, I found things I was passionate about. In my sophomore year, I joined Future Business Leaders of America and became joined the mentor

I experienced frustration in many situations due to my inability to communicate in Portuguese. Thankfully, one of my classmates acted as a cultural broker and interpreter to help enhance our experience of Brazil’s vibrant and enthusiastic culture.
