Chapter please?
On her first day of school in America, Dumas feels like an outcast. As if nobody understands her, or is willing to try. My text-supported evidence is in paragraph 5 "the sight of all the kids in the school staring at us before the bell rang was enough to make me pretend I didn’t know her." along with in paragraph 10 "Now all the students stared at us, not just because I had come to school with my mother, not because we couldn’t speak their language, but because we were stupid."
