Lives on the Boundary

Lives on the Boundary was a very interesting book for me to read. I felt like the boundaries discussed in this book were so common with things that people actually struggle with in real life. I enjoyed the way that book discussing the barrier of language. I think that language has become an extremely large barrier in the United States. It is something that I have become more aware of since I started college, because now I have more contact with people from other countries. In talking to some of my friends from other countries I find it interesting the things that they can't really understand about english. It really puts into perspective how difficult it must be to come to a country that you are not familiar with and attempt to communicate in a world of people who can be very judgmental and harsh about that fact that one is not familiar with the language.
I think that the book was enjoyable to read in the sense that it made a lot of good points. I like the idea of physical, as well as, emotional and educational boundaries. I think it was interesting that the author was able to pull together all these different levels of boundaries and make them into a story. The fact that it was a story, and based on something that actually happened made the book seem more real and more interesting to read.
