His parents own a restaurant so they work from five to six in the morning till twelve at night, so he had no choice but to learn and be independent on his own. Although he knows that he is slow in school, he still challenged himself and takes honors and AP classes with me. I would help and assist him as much as I could so that he doesn’t fall behind. He did fine his freshman year of high school, but sophomore year was when things went downhill. His parents left for Vietnam for 3 months, and he was really on his own
But just last week reports came out stating that Brooks has indeed been eating food and carrying grocery bags out of a 7-11 convenient store.

He told us that it was a brilliant idea at the time because he was only paying around 100 dollars of rent a month. He quickly realized though, this was a horrible idea. One of his roommates made a pot of gumbo and left it on the stove for a few days. It started to stink and Wise began to get irritated because his roommate was not cleaning up his mess. Wise had plenty of opportunities to clean up the mess himself, but he avoided it because he did not make the mess.
Maus II Chapter 1 Art gets a phone call from his father saying that his wife Mala, has stolen money from him and left him. He promptly goes with his wife to his father’s cabin to stay with him for a few days. On the drive there, Art explains to his wife how growing up with his parents idolizing his dead brother Richeu was hard for him. I can relate because I have always felt a sort of sibling rivalry with my older sister, though she is alive and well. The next day they go for a walk and he tells him about how he was lucky at Auschwitz, a polish guard kept him well fed and clothed so that he may learn English from him.
“Guess I’ll finish this tomorrow; hey, I wonder where that old guy went?” He looked around as he loaded his tools into the wheelbarrow and pushed it back to the house. His father met him inside with a cold glass of lemonade; it tasted cold and sweet and was just the thing he needed, after his morning labor. “Dad,” he said, “have you ever seen the cemetery so empty as today?” “What do you mean?” His father replied. “I saw plenty of people around; it’s just as busy as always. How far did you get before the rain started, son?” “Uh, I got about half of the front and right sides cleared.” He took a long drink of the lemonade and watched his Dad laying out some lasagna noodles in the bottom of a glass casserole dish.
Within a week in the United States, George got a job as a dishwasher. The wage was minimal; at five dollars an hour, lesser than the other dishwashers. In addition, George’s living condition was horrible as “he shares an apartment with a crowd of other Czech dishwashers and that he cannot sleep until one of them goes off for his shift, leaving a vacant bed” (p.296). Although George did not have a decent job from the start, he did not give up his dream. George studied English with the author so that he may communicate better with his co-workers.
! “Three Strikes and your Out.” ! Monday, 3/3 Dan was really looking forward to his opportunity to speak with the town tonight, because he thought out of anyone, he had the best food for thought around the three strike violation in California. This was a monthly meeting that was not uncommon to take place during the evening some time after supper.

The increase of gas prices hurt the benefit of motorists. Because of the ridiculous high gas prices, many people have to choose pool car to share the transportation/gas fees with other people or use public transportation. For instance, my uncle, who lives in Foster City and works at downtown San Francisco, drives to work every day. However, when the gas prices went up, he had to take Caltrain-a kind of public transportation to go to work since it was cheaper than drive. However, it took longer time to go to work since he just needed 40 minutes to drive to work but he needed more or less two hours to go to work by Caltrain.
Both of the Chinese immigrants lived in the lowest class of the society. But the data showed more families immigrated into New York than San Francisco. Of the 11,794 Chinese in California, only 7 were women, which was a bad situation for Chinese males to form new families in new home. Immigrants in San Francisco had tendencies to come alone and worked there, which confirmed the statement in Takaki. Most of the Chinese immigrants in San Francisco can only find jobs with minimal requirement, such as laundrymen.
