Imagine coming to another country only knowing what you have read in a book about it. That is exactly how narrator started his journey to America. The most important part of his journey to America was to further his education. Usually when we hear of immigrants coming to America it is usually something negative but what about the ones like this man/narrator who came for a positive reason? This narrator shows the journey of coming to America along with threshold of being in a arranged marriage.
This story was the most positive outlook on two controversial topics. Many Americas have shown hate to foreigners coming to the country regardless the reason or the fact they have earn citizenship. This narrator started in London in which he didn't feel like he belonged until he came to Boston. Once he found his place in world he did succeed to have a successful life along with falling in love with a total stranger and meeting a older women who he didn't believe would have any affect on his life but did.
During his stay with Mrs. Croft I believe that is when the narrator really learned most of his american mannerisms. The narrator learned that living with her respect for elders and how americans take pride mankind. For example Mrs. Croft and the narrator repeatedly talked about the man of the moon. Mrs. Croft to me represented a lady of traditional sense of America because her simple ways and mannerisms are a little outdated but still useful. The narrator later learns that she did actually mean something in his journey here.
Another part of his journey was having his wife join him in America. In America people know of arranged marriages but we never know the actually journey with it. With this story you learn how the narrator had to learn to love her it took some time but they worked out. Imagine being forced into a relationship and then trying to make it work. Not only did they have to learn to love each other his wife also had to adjust to a whole new world. The beauty in their relationship is journey they went through and that once a complete stranger to him changed his outlook.
