I like the issue chosen for this story. I have a friend dealing with getting her citizenship now. The story contains relatable elements that apply differently to people. I understand wanting to walk away from my problems and trying to slow my thinking to calm down while my friend would relate to the immigration issue. However, since the situation deals with this serious issue, the realism is enhanced. I also like how the exposition is told through the dialogue. Using dialogue as the method to display the exposition intrigued me because how I'm used to seeing it.
Even though using dialogue is a great way to express the exposition, such as when the mom says "we won’t pass up the opportunity of you getting your citizenship here" (1), the dialogue
