And gesture simply means using the hand, arm, body to express an emotion,thought,idea and opinion...its another way of communicating. the thick accent of her mother was a problem when she wanted to express her self in the america sodiety. incoprehensible means... incapable of being understood..

the author's father past experiences of life where full of a history of poverty and hardship..strugles has a young man made him a success. the word hardscrabble means difficult to make a living in: great effort made in the face of difficulties. he thinks that bowling was a great way to get money and become rich. bowling is **a** game played by rolling a ball down a wooden alley in order to knock down a triangular group of ten pins.

Firoozeh Dumas, came from a small town Iran to Whittier California with her family in 1972,when she was seven years old. Her father, an engineer for the National Iranian Oil Co., had been given a two-year assignment in the U.S., presumably because he had attended graduate school in America and he was assumed to speak good English. Her father had spoken about the wonders of America and therefore, the family had high expectations of this country full of "clean bathrooms and very kind people. __The family's journey into America was an inspired experience, at times painful, but reviewing the past, it was harmlessly comical.__ <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">When Feroozeh and her family first came to America, they experience many challenges as foreigners. Like many other foreigners that came from another country to America, they could not speak English. Feroozeh's father decided to take his Feroozeh and her mother to school, so that they can learn English. Little Firoozeh cringes in shame when her mother attends school with her. The teacher, Mrs. Sandberg, ask Feroozeh's mother to located iran on the map she display on blackboard,she did not located iran on the after several attemt. Firoozeh felt sad and ashamed, when her mother did not locate her country Iran on the map. After school that afternoon, they lost their way home. The problem was - which way to turn, right or left? Every thing looked the same. Firoozeh and her mother are helped by a kind mother and daughter who came out of their home and saw them. Firoozeh's mother never masters English, but she becomes expert at placing words together and eliminating the verbs entirely, giving her speech a certain exotic charm, for example (in page 11) we lived in ‘vee-tee-er’ (whittier), we shooped at ‘veetvood’ (whitwood). Firoozeh was little and was able to learn English faster, so she became her mother's personal translator. <span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> The author write about universal experienced all immigrants face in America. The kindness and willingness to help of Americans gave them a little comfort, but the moment the Iran crisis starts, Firoozeh and her family began to be treated as criminals.
