In the stary year of the boar story, there is a young girl that is called Shirley and she has to leave her hometown China to America to meet her dad and go to school. And then in America, she has a little trouble being with the kids over there and she once got lost too and she kind of feels lonely because there aren’t a lot of kids with her and she is not used to the place where she lives so she has trouble with those things. And in the story, there are little details about lonely then if you match the whole story up then it has a lot of parts that are about lonely.
And the reason that it shows that she is lonely is that when the school started she was getting used to it and then when the summer break started she was very lonely and once even though a kid in her class hit her and when her dad went to the police officer to tell that she protected the kid that hit her because she didn’t want the kid in to be in a trouble or be mad at her. Because if she told on her then she is going to be known as the teller and no one will try to be friends with her and the other hand if she doesn’t tell kids are most likely to like her because she understands that she nice kid to be with. And then the kid will love to be with her then suddenly the kid will want to be friend with her.
And last reason that she is lonely is that always she comes home by her self and then she losses her way and can’t go home. And she always tries to be kind as possible and to earn friends.
I think because she tries a lot she should get a lot of friends that are very kind and honest.
