Abstract

Imagine being placed somewhere not knowing a single person, not talking, dressing or even acting the same as others in the communitiy. Do you change the way you act? Try to be a trend setter? Or just accept the fact that your different? In this paper the reader will be informed about the feelings of two differnt people being placed in an enviornment that they were unfamiliar with. They were forced to adapt to thier surroundings while fighting with thier language and thier placement in a new school. These two completely differnt people had the same feeling within. They had to try to fit in while keeping their sense of self alive. This paper will make the reader think if they , or anyone they know, have been in this situation before. This connects with literacy in the fact that everyone tries to be socialy accepted.
