Hello, America #3

Quote #1, Elli: I can’t believe it. No business license?

Personal connection: My personal connection is that I have been in this situation before. When I don’t know something that would help me I end up having to go through a lot more than I had to. I don’t know all of my options and I don’t benefit from it.

Question: Have you been in this situation before? What was it?

Quote #2, Elli: Sally and Evelyn have become my close friends.

Significance: This shows that Elli is being treated well by people n America. Her, Sally, and Evelyn grow close and they show her what tuna and a milkshake are. They know that she’s not from America and they enjoy showing her new things.

Personal connection: This has happened to me in my old school where I was the only new kid in the 5th grade class. Even though I was new everyone was nice and I made really good friends on my first day. They showed me around and ate lunch with me and welcomed me into their group.

Question: Does Elli really love Alex?
