In the video My So-Called Enemy by Lisa Gossels, it shows how different cultures interact with each other. …

Leaving someone behind that means so much to me was very hard for me to do. My brother is like a best friend to me. After school he buys me and sister food because he knows we get home hungry. He helps me with any help i need. We’d watch movies together everyday or go out to get ice cream. But suddenly a problem occurred with him and my parents and he left the house.
