GIRL IN TRANSLATION: The Project Problem
Storyboard Text
- Kim and Annette arrive at Annette's house.
- I CAN'T WAIT TO START WORKING ON OUR PROJECT!
- WOW, Annette's house is so nice!
- Annette's House
- Why is she being so formal?
- Hello Mrs. Avery, it's very nice to meet you,
- Kim sees the cat
- I'M SCARED OF YOUR CAT! WILL IT BITE ME? DOES IT HAVE FLEAS?
- Mr. Bogart assigns a diorama project to the class. Annette and Kim decide to work on the project together. They go to Annette's house that afternoon to work on the project.
- Annette's Mom is surprised at how formal Kim is when she introduces herself.
- MY Mom laid some supplies out for us.
- Annette is so fortunate to have such a loving family.
- Kim is terrified of animals. She has not been around them very much.
- School
- I'm glad Mrs. Avery agreed to drop me off at school. I'm not sure how Annette will react if she finds out where I live. (sigh)
- Mrs. Avery makes Kim feel better by showing her how to pet the cat and tells her the cat does not have fleas.
- Kim slowly walks home
- Annette's house is so different from mine. It is so warm and friendly. I miss that feeling.
- The Avery Family's Maid makes Annette and Kim a snack of Ritz crackers and cheese. Kim is amazed at the difference between this family and her own.
- Kim felt comfortable and she enjoyed watching the interactions of the Avery family.
- Kim did not want Annette and her Mom to see where she lived, so she asked Mrs. Avery to drop her off at the school.
- On the walk home, Kim thought about how warm and friendly Annette's house was, but then she realized that she also felt lonely.
- Kim arrives home
- Ma, can I go to Annette's for dinner? She invited me.
- I forbid you to go back to the Avery's house!
- Ma is worried
- I know Kim is upset with me, but we have nothing to repay the Avery's with.
- SUMMARY
- I wish Ma worried about me, like Mrs. Avery worries about Annette and her brother.
- Ma considers the Avery's kindness as a debt that they will have to repay. She knows that they will not be able to invite Annette to their apartment because she will see how poor they are.
