Having to move at a young age would always be a hard and scary experience, yet when one door closes another door opens. In the novel, "Poisenwood Bible" by Barbra Kingsolver, an American family moves to Congo, while fifteen year old Rachel Prince has the hardest time accumulating this new foreign lifestyle. Refusing to see any good in this new adventure, as time goes by Rachel realizes that life in Congo was both alienating yet enriching to her new world.
What caused the stubborn beauty queen to hate Kilanga was her background of status back in Georgia, and being a baptist. Entering Cong was hard for her to get used because of the lifestyle nd the culture of their people. Seeig the "nakedness" offended her, automaticay shutting anyone who tried to associate with her, making her feel more alone and alienated.
As the years went by she became more opened and willing to connect to others. She also got involved with he own hotel, making her a very successful and wealthy person.
