Answer 1

This question is about "Barrio boy"

Answer and Explanation:

Galarza is apprehensive about going to American school, but he was anxious about how he could learn English and become a proud American, as he himself says.

When he arrives at school he gets tense, because he thought that the teachers could be rude and that he would be the only boy not to speak English, but he had a very different experience, which helped him a lot to form a thought about the country in which he was living. First, the teachers were very kind and patient and taught him English very calmly. He was not the only foreigner and had the company of many friends, even Americans who helped him to speak correctly. Galarza then realized that this was a country that also had kind and solicitous people.
