  4. Thanks for your comment Aichatou. Do you feel the same as Gonzalo with your family? Or does everyone in your family speak English? I think it would be very hard to have so many responsibilities as a young person. Not only do you have school, but you also have to help your parents and other family members. It is a lot to do.

  5. I agree with this statement because he mean that if you just came from a different country to United States you are like child because you can speak English and you don't understand anything.

    1. But should it be the child's responsibility to take care of the older person? Doesn't a child have the right to just be a child?
