Malita's Party Experience
Malita = a newly arrived foreign
student in The Unite State
Jan = Malita's
American friend
Malita is anxious to make friends at
school. Her frienf Jan invites her to a party where she is the only
international guest. At the party she meets several people who ask her many
quetions and show a deep interest in her culture. Some of them tell her to
"drop by" their apartements and say that they hope to see her at
school. She gives her apartement number to several people and tells them to
come by her house, which near the school.
Several weeks pass but nobody from
the party comes yo Malita's house except Jan. Malita wants to ask her friend
why the other American students dont come to visit her but she is too hurt and
proud to ask. She feels really disappointed. Jan knows Malita feels lonely but
she cannot understand why. At school Malita well-liked by her classmate. Jan
also remembers that her friends really enjoyed meeting Malita at the
party.
