"He decided that it would be a good idea for my mother to attend school with me..."
This reminds me a lot of Sundara's first encounter with school. She didn't understand the rules of school, and what is acceptable to say. Firoozeh's family didn't understand that having a parent at school would make her experience even more difficult. This also reminds me of how a lot of parents do wish they could go to school with their kids and make sure they are okay.
"The bathrooms were clean and the people were very, very kind"
I love this quote because it shows how easy it is to make people happy, just make them comfortable and be nice to them. To me, this contradicts Sundara's experience, her family is constantly putting down America and making it seem awful.
Such a big difference was that Firoozeh's dad wanted to come and Sundara's family didn't.
