Hello America
Quote#1" I promised mom I would be back with in the hour. I'm afraid it's past the deadline. I must get home." pg#168-169 Said by Elli.
Significance How do Americans treat Elli? I choose this quote and I think it relates to this question because it shows that Elli's mom doesn't want her to get hurt so she wants her to come back at the curfew. This is important to Elli's mom because she knows she is safe and can help her when she comes home. Elli shows she is true to her word by coming home at the time she said she would and that she follows her mom's directions. Elli can be trusted and that is impotant to her and mother.
Personal connection My connection to this is that my parents want me home to at a certain time because I can help them with work around the house or be with my family for meal time. Then when I do come home on time they know I'm safe and that I'm not hurt.
Question My question is have you ever had a curfew and not came on time and got in trouble?
Quote#2 "To a new life in America!" pg#176 said by Elli's mother
Significance Why have Elli and her mom come to America? This quote I think really relates to that question because it shows what they went through to have a new life. In that one quote it shows that Elli and her mom came to America lived in America and got a new home in America for a new life. This Quote shows that even though Elli and her mom went through bad times they now have better lives and will be able to try new things.
Personal connection My personal connection is when I came to HTM, I got a new life and I learned new things. I met new people and I tried new things at my new school.
Question Was there a time in your life when you got something that changed your life and if you did, tell me what it was?

`Quote #1 it's the apartment" said by Elli pg 173

this is important because it gives Elli a new home for her and her mom. This means more space and a cleaner house. Then this and show what Elli needed when she came to America but now she has it. My connection is when i got my PS2 when i was younger. It brought me in to gaming and now i can see what other game systems their are as like Elli other houses.

Question #1 have you got anything that you still have and changed your life.

Quote#2 " that reminds me don't let me forget to get a broom on our way home." said by Elli pg 179
this is important because this shows they are trying to keep their home clean and not destroy it early. This is a Quote that shows they are changing their ways and getting more to help them live life. connection i have got lots of things that i didn't need in life like video games so this can help me past time but sometimes I buy things for scouts or school so it can help me in the future.
Question #2 have you ever bought something that you needed to show off or to past time?
