Pg. 4 "It was the Promised Land"
I thought this was important because the family assumed that America was going to be clean, kind and orderly. I think that people who don't live in America have many thoughts on what American is like. However, clean, kind and orderly are the assumptions I hear the most. Sundara and her family in Children of the River came to America to be safe and had similar thoughts on what America would be like.
Pg. 7 "After spending an entire day in America, surrounded by Americans, I realized my father's description of America had been correct. The bathrooms were clean and the people were very, very kind"
I thought this was important because just after one day she says that the people are very kind. I like to think that people in America are nice but there will always be some people who are not and Firoozeh will soon realized that not everyone is nice too. In Children Of the River, Sundara learns this as well as Jonathan's girlfriend is very mean to Sundara.
