Answer:
Have you ever judged a family just because they are different from you? The story “The Strangers That Came To Town '' is about how a new family (The Duvitch family) moves into a new town and neighborhood and are misjudged constantly because they are different. As shown in this story people should never be judged. This story will give you a different perspective on judging people. In the beginning the Duvitch family moved to the new neighborhood on the first of April.
On the first of April it was dark and stormy. The family that lives across the street (Tom, his brother, mother,and father) saw them moving in from out the window. When the Duvitch family moved everything in their new house and got settled in, Tom's mother made them a food basket containing a roast chicken, a loaf of homemade bread, and a pie. The next day a pale dark eyed boy was giving the basket back and gave the mother a beautiful plant that was never seen before in the neighborhood and the mother wasn’t very happy because she thought that they should have given her a better gift back because she sent them a whole basket of food.
After the Duvitches family moved in for a while people started judging them. People thought what they ate was weird. The kids at school would stare and make fun of what the Duvitch children would wear. When anyone of the Duvitch family would walk down the street near people they would hold their noises. But after two whole years a family gets to know them.
One day the Duvitch family and Tom's family accidently went to the same pond to camp and fish. The Duvitch family has been fishing all day and got a lot of fish. After Tom's family got the tent pitched their father went to sleep and the boys went fishing. When they were done fishing they were all sweaty and wanted to get washed. So the boys got soap and towels. On their way to the water they noticed a tub of all the Duvitches families fish and decided to put their bar of soap in the tub of fish. When the father got up and saw what they had done he made them recatch all the fish they killed. After they had caught all the fish they had killed they gave the fish to the Duvitches family and invited the Duvitch family for dinner.
When they had dinner they learned so much about the Duvitch family and learned that they were fun and really smart. “ The young Duvitches, thrilled by their first party and by the families first acceptance in this country, kept showing their pleasure in wide, delighted smiles”, page 423 - 424. At the beginning people misjudged the Duvitch family and it turns out at the end that they weren’t bad people at all. This story teaches people not to judge people just because they are different from you.
