This view of looking at America from an outsider’s point of view and how others view living in America is essential in D’Souza’s fundamental argument. He compares living in America to living in other less developed countries and appeals to the common citizen in his style, logic, and development of his essay.

Some on the other hand will not realize this because they were raised in that way of thinking and their minds are not as malleable anymore.

Another thing that we like a lot is that we can do meeting or parties in the apartment’s park; we can invite people and have fun. Now, we feel more comfortable living here, and enjoy everything in the United States.

New country means new language, new culture, new people and different lifestyle. I never thought of being somewhere where you don’t know the language and people.
