  2. Summary

    The woman named Maria comes from America from another country. It is different to understand the culture and the new home. Where Maria came from, she has no chance to go to school. In America, she has been studying the big test in G.E.D. If you pass, you find job easily in America.
    In the story, Maria can’t understand why the host always touches and hugs women who join the game. The game calls “Family Feud”.
    One day, Meria joined a show. She talked a terrible story about a mayor of the village in Guatemala. However, the audience and the mayor of New York laughed. She was confused and didn’t know the reason. n
    The end of the story, Meria’s classmate, Ling, told a story in the class. A horrible story. Everyone was silent and felt sad.
