Elizabeth's Assignment#5

As far as he knows, America is a place where dreams will come true. Baba believes that they will build their life again there. But the reality is different from what he knows and he is somehow disappointed at this. After two years in America, they still struggle for living and Baba has to adopt himself to the different lifestyle there. In the grocery, Baba has a conflict with the Nguyens' and he says no one trust anybody. Amir says in his hometown, people trust each other and they won't cheat. People in America are quite different from those in Kabul on this aspect. Before I came to USA, I thought this is a place where people advocate independence and honesty. It proves to be true. The difference is that I used to consider people here to be very neat or with cleanliness. But I find that some students are quite sluttery, because I have see a student laying all his clothes and underwears on the floor and another spitting on public place. I couldn't believe this at first.
