Recently I've wrote a review about a graphic book Eric by Shaun tan and by reading the book I acquired a some interesting ideas. This book is mainly about how an international exchange students and his home-stay family confused about each others culture.
Writer has structured Eric as a little shadow creature, curious about all the little things that he would find on the ground. He is always quiet and polite, no one actually knows what he thinks. Until one day after Eric left, they found his gifts to them in the kitchen room where he spent most his time in. The home-stay family feel very proud that they've hosted a polite international boy, Eric.
I adored this story cause it made me think of the time of being an international student in an English speaking country, and the things that occur to show the culture diversity is approximately the same as the book. I would like to suggest all the international students to read this book so that they would know how to behave themselves better.
