Hello America POst #6

Quote #1: “Are you interested in the presidential campaign?”

Significance: It shows how Elli is adjusting to the new life in America. I think that it is good that Elli is adjusting well. Elli is really getting a feel for American culture and I am ecstatic that she got her high school diploma.

Personal connection: I am very different in how I handle a new experience like going to a different country. I try to adapt into their culture when I am there. That is only on trips though, not moving to a different country. America doesn’t have its own distinct religion or anything like that so I think I would be able to leave my culture behind.


Question: I have all my questions answered throughout my reading.

Quote #2: I did it, I did it!” screamed Elli, “I got my high school diploma!”


Significance: I really am happy that Elli got her high school diploma. It is the first of many steps at a first class education. The book ends here, but I hope she goes onto college.


Personal connection: I was also very happy when I found out that I was going to graduate elementary school. It is not the same as I high school diploma, but I was very happy at the time.


Question: Do you think Elli went to college?
