"You fought so they could sit on their asses in school every day and get the school lunch they whine about all the time and that more than your own father and mother ever had."
This shows what soldiers fight for that kids can go to school and that kids are here to learn and how lucky these kids are in what they have compared to what their parents had.
I think that the main character is during pretty good right because he served his country even tho he did not want to goo but ether way he excepted it.
Question #1: When do you think the main character will have a worry free life?

"he takes a moment to ask me what im duing with my life."
I think that this quote is strong because it really tells you how he has improved from the beginign from working two jobs and long hours and what he is duing now and is his life better or if his been messing around.
I think the main character did a good job in maintaining his life.
QUestion #2: Do you think he did a good job making a new life in America?

They whispered to each other, they looked at me, laugh, wwhispered again and im sorry I ever set foot on staten island.
This showed that he still struggles because people critisizes him and so a lot of people dont respect him. Also it showed that he dosent dress like regular Americans because he is still in costome in how he used to dress before.
I think that he should just ignore what other people think of him and just keep on trying to get better in life. I think its good that he is trying his best to get a better life and not slaking.
Question #1: Do you think that more people will make fun of him because in where he is from and how he dresses?
