Both Francisco from “Inside Out” by Francisco Jiménez and Alice from Walking With Miss Millie by Tomara Bundy are facing difficulties to adapt to a new school, and Francisco and Alice are not so popular. But a different aspect between them is that Francisco is more timid while Alice is more delicate and she wants what is best for people. in ”’Inside Out,” Francisco is a young boy that was going to a school for the first time. Maybe this affects why he is not so popular or is it just because he speaks a different language. In Walking With Miss Millie, Alice is 9 years old and is moving to a new city on Rainbow, with her mom, dad and her brother Eddie who is deaf. At her residence where she lives, the girl takes care of the elderly and her grandmother asked her to take care of her dog. In her new school Alice does not adapt very well because she feels excluded.
Alice has great difficulty adapting because like many children when they enter a new school, she ends up being a little more shy at first, even she is already in the fourth grade she already knows how the school works and ends up letting go a little more than Francisco who is in the first grade, its is his first time at school. Well in Alice’s old school she had several friends living there for a long time in case she was born. Francisco only has two friends because he is too embarrassed to talk to people, one of these friends also speaks spanish and the other had a fight but they resolved it with Francisco giving him a drawing. Francisco thinks he is different because he only speaks in Spanish and your school is all in english.
Francisco is not so popular because this is his first time at a school and he has difficulties adapting at school and he is shy because he thinks that someone will bully him or make fun of him because he only speaks in Spanish and that makes him think that he is different from the others and thinks he will never learn english to speak like a normal person, everyone has difficulties making friends in a new school, Alice is a different girl who only wants the best for them is different and thinks that someone will intimidate her it. Alice is not so popular because at her new school she has a hard time making friends because she thinks that just because she moved to another city she will never make friends again.
Alice is more delicate because in the story she likes to help elderly in her neighborhood and for this you need a lot of patience because some of them are cantankerous and this is fussy but she does a good job, and she has a brother called Eddie, he is deaf even though she help him and protect two. In Francisco’s case he is tired to move many times to a new school principally because he is timid and demonstrates this many times in the story but he can be timid only because he doesn’t now speak spanish.
The summary of the story is that she was moving to a city from another but she doesn’t like this idea because she has many friends in her old school. She went to Rainbow, which is a city that was in Georgia with your mom, dad and her brother that is deaf. For a while she dont make friends and dont adapted in her new school, after her classes she goes to take care of the elderly in her neighborhood, at least that’s what she likes to do and it makes her distract from her school, but there is a specific neighbor called Miss Millie is to invite you to their homes every day to take care of her dog and he ends up becoming your best friend. In Francisco’s story he’s moving to the United States because he’s kind of poor and can’t afford to live in Spain and his parents needed a cheaper school for him to study so they went there, Francisco didn’t like it but wanted to go. At his new school he makes a friend named Arthur and fights with a boy named Curtis but later they become friends because Francisco gives him a drawing. Speaking of drawing he loves to draw things.
