  4. The part from the book that I can compere it with my experience is when Eddie went to the war and learned new things that he would not know them if he never went there. For me, since I came to the US I learned many skills that I did not have before. I will start of course with the reason that brought me here that is English language or education. I learned English language and also couple of words in various languages and accents as well. I learned how to be more independent and driving my own car instead of having a private driver. I learned to pay my bills because no one will pay it if I do not. I learned about different cultures that have no thing in common with my own culture. I learned how to eat using chopsticks and finally I used to be shy but not any more.
