"Babe loved the idea of America." We can find that Baba's politics are very similar with America. From the content comes after the words. Baba told his politics to author when they were walking beside the lake. "There are three real country in this world."(P125) This showed us the importance of the three country's positions in Baba's heart. And the first country Baba said is America. After that, "he used to wave his hand and make a phht sound" This sentence made Baba's point powerful.
But when Baba came to America, the life isn't as good as what in his mind. He do not like the life in America. Or ot say, Baba's does not enjoy the life in America.On page 127, when Baba paid some fruits by check, Mr.Nguyen ask for Baba's ID. Baba was angry with that. Baba has never be treated like this before came here. But it's the life's style of America. "Almost two years we've bought his damn fruits .." ,"My father is still adjusting to life in America." the two sentences showed us vivid that Baba's real feeling in America.
Before I came to USA, I thought the life in America maybe not easy. Maybe the people here do not like foreigher strangers, or maybe the food in America is not suitable for me. But what I worried much are nothing. People here are friendly and the food are really nice. Like here is much better than what I thought before.
