Firoozeh Dumas With A Little Help From My Friends

Who would want to be friends with a girl that comes from a strange place. “ They wanted to know about more important things, such as camels. How many did we own back home? What did we feed them? Was it a bumpy ride?”( Firoozeh Dumas page 90). Why would people want to know ting such as this? It was because the had no clue where this place was located just from what they hear. This is the main reason people need to know about geography skills, and about cultures. Geography a topic taught in high school, children do not know it but should they. In the story “ With A Little Help From My Friends” the main character a little girl named Dumas from Iranian moves to the united states. People ask where it is located and what it was like. One day a child asked about camels and questions about them. Also, she said “ where Persian cats come from.” ( Firoozeh Dumas page 91). to explain where she was from. Then at that point she started wondering about their geography in America. She figured out that they had never learned about geography until they were older. She understood where everything was not just her continent and a few others but much more. This is why geography is important knowing where things are so you can understand your world
They believe in different things. Most children need to be taught at different ages. But I believe that you need to be taught at a younger age. You will understand the world better if you just know these things as a child. Different cultures have different traditions you have your’s and I have mine. Dumas was having a hard time fitting in with the American culture until she got the opportunity to be in the Halloween parade. “ On Halloween, one family brought over a costume, knowing that I would surely be the only kid in the Halloween parade without one.” ( Firoozeh Dumas page 91-92). This shows that she would have not known what to do she was still adapting to her environment and
