These events meet the coming of age criteria because itś how Daine starts to become an adult. The first significant event which meets the coming-of-age criteria is when Daine was going through puberty so she had to get a bra and her mom was deported so she had to ask her dad  Daine responded by being embarrassed when she asked her dad and also at the store when they were buying the bras Daine initiative. Another part of puberty was that she got her period and she didn't know what to do so she responded by telling her dad and her dad tried to help her and asked Olivia what she need and when they went to the store her dad went crazy buying pads and she even started flushing them down the toilet and changing them every time she saw a little bit of blood because she didn't know. The second event significant which meets the coming-of-age criteria is applying to high school Daine was failing her class because of her problems at home so she was denied to almost every high school responded to that by giving up. But then her school counselor found her BAA and she took the initiative to apply to BAA and later on audition. Third significant event is going to high school Daine didn't know what BAA was really like and she didn't have any friends or anybody she knew that went there but a girl that she met at camp but she was in a different grade she responded to this by being shy at first but after a while of being at BAA, she actually liked high school. The Last significant event which meets the coming-of-age criteria is accepting the fact that her mom won't come back Daine responded to this by trying to keep her dad and brother from fighting and making her relationship with her dad better. In the country we love Diane coming of age story reminds me of a book I read The Poet X because in the book Xiomara also known as X has to go through a lot of things growing up like Daine does even though Ximomara has to deal with way different things in the story. But it connects to Daine's coming of age story because they both have to deal with going through puberty and going to high school besides their main conflict. Like in The Poet X when X goes through puberty so she has to go shopping for a bra and she also is embarrassed. As well she didn't know what to do when she got her period either what to wear or where to even get a pad and she was also embarrassed to tell someone. Additionally, X also was failing school like Diane because of problems going on at home with her mom.

Secondly, I will try to calm myself down because I know it’s one of the best things to do in any situation. Even Though I will still be anxious and afraid. Thirdly after a while, if they don’t call back I will call someone that I think may know where there are and ask them if they have seen them or know where they are. Then once my neighbor tells me that they were deported. I will call a family member and ask if they can help/aid or I will find help/aid somewhere else because I know there are a lot of places in Boston that can help/aid people.   Fri, 28 Feb 2020 10:22:05 -0800 https://nowcomment.com/documents/171422?scroll_to=1627462 https://nowcomment.com/documents/171422?scroll_to=1627462 My reaction to this situation would be to panic at first because I know that my parents would not just leave everything like that unlisted they go down stairs really quickly. Then I will try to calm myself down because I know it’s one of the best things to do in that situation. But I know I will still be scared and nervous the whole time. Fri, 28 Feb 2020 08:12:25 -0800
