He changes a lot in the short amount of time, he's on a so called "adventure" with Natasha. He is a very well thought out person and always tries to think on the bright side of things, that wouldn't seem as bright to most other people. Daniel is also optimistic some of the times around his family and friends. "SInce I'm letting the universe dictate my life on this Final day of childhood, I don't bother waiting for another train to take me to Thirty-Fourth Street." Daniel says.

Deportation is a real world issue, people are being deported every day in America, and is causing people to get frustrated with one another, which is causing debate. There are some scenarios where deportations end up in families having to separate because one parent was illegal, and the other wasn't. This is an issue with people in America, but to stop this people need to stop coming here illegally. My character Natasha came to America when she was around 8 years old and was not said to be "illegal." That was until her father got a DUI, forcing them to have to leave. Because of this people found out that they were actually here illegally, so now they have to leave the country, and their home. ]]> 2017-11-30 18:37:13 UTC https://padlet.com/20koivistoa/i6vieao77tpv/wish/212008945 20koivistoa https://padlet.com/20koivistoa/i6vieao77tpv/wish/212378491 Deportation: http://www.cnn.com/2017/07/27/politics/connecticut-family-deportations/index.html

She is being deported when she meets Daniel and doesn't tell him until they are getting ready to part ways, and are angry with each other. Natasha says, "So why does Daniel feel like something more?" (Yoon 105). Natasha is very set in her own ways of life and is definitely not happy about being deported. She tries to go to different people and get more information inside, but nothing she tries works. ]]> 2017-12-01 18:26:16 UTC https://padlet.com/20koivistoa/i6vieao77tpv/wish/212388573 20koivistoa https://padlet.com/20koivistoa/i6vieao77tpv/wish/212644271 Most people think love is either unconditional or conditional. 

Researchers say that the first thing that grabs people's attention about someone they find attractive is the color of their eyes, or their laugh. As people grow in their relationship often people say the spark simmers down, which is not thought to be between my characters Daniel and Natasha ("Signs You're In A Healthy Relationship").

Even though they just met there is something special about the two that is indescribable. ]]> 2017-12-03 19:57:49 UTC https://padlet.com/20koivistoa/i6vieao77tpv/wish/212644271 20koivistoa https://padlet.com/20koivistoa/i6vieao77tpv/wish/213443608 2017-12-05 18:32:07 UTC https://padlet.com/20koivistoa/i6vieao77tpv/wish/213443608 20koivistoa https://padlet.com/20koivistoa/i6vieao77tpv/wish/213853767 "A handful of sanctuary cities refuse to honor detainers on ideological grounds, but a larger number of sheriffs who otherwise support the Trump administration have also turned down detainers because courts have found that they violate the Fourth Amendment" ("Undocumented Immigrants Fear Deportation Under Trump."). 

This shows that Undocumented Immigrants have really no say in whether they get to stay in the the country they are in, or have to go back.]]> 2017-12-06 18:39:06 UTC https://padlet.com/20koivistoa/i6vieao77tpv/wish/213853767 20koivistoa https://padlet.com/20koivistoa/i6vieao77tpv/wish/214259710 2017-12-07 18:22:45 UTC https://padlet.com/20koivistoa/i6vieao77tpv/wish/214259710
