Jiyeun's response of Vonny Sukri’s reaction of A Step from Heaven
I also think Young Ju is interesting character. Young ju is so little girl don’t know much about USA. She thinks USA is heaven. Her father thinks USA is easy to make a lot of money and it does not require high education. Unfortunately, it is not true. Vonny also thinks it is not true. She points out America also need higher education to get a good job. I agreed on her idea. I am not immigrant here. I am just international student in OSU. I will be back my country. I don’t know and care about ‘job and money’ because I don’t need to find job for money. After I read Vonny Sukri’s response, working and living in USA is harder than immigrant’s thinking. Immigrants have worse life in America than even their country.She said, “Nonetheless, after I moved to America, I realized that America is not as good as it sounds. I think same like her. America is dangerous and we can see many poor people on the street. America has much violence. However, I think America still has some hope for immigrant. Some people are failed, but some people are succeeded. Therefore, we can not say just negative things of America. America has more freedom than other country and we can learn and experience variety cultural things. This is reason people still want to immigrant and study in America. I think, America still can be ‘heaven’ to some immigrant.
