Friendly People

The chapter “friendly People” by Bill Bryson appears in the book I’m a Stranger Here Myself. .He's telling that the people in New Hampshire, are freindly people.Bill Bryson starts the chapter off by writing an article about the modern American life, when Mrs. Bryson tells him that he complains too much. As he states that America has it good qualities but what It also has a friendliness atmosphere. He then talks about his move to New Hemisphere, a state in New England. He discusses how the people were very friendly to them from inviting them to dinner, to bringing them furniture’s, to people leaving their car door unlocked. Mr. Bryson discusses the difference there and New York. He finally concludes the reason why people are not as friendly as they should be is because of the reality of the real world. Some lady tells him clearly “Honey, you’re not in the real world any longer. You’re in New Hemisphere.”

  1. I am not agree him, because you can’t trust everybody that lives in America. Because everyone have a different culture, and they might be nice to u a one time since everyone are not the same but don’t take that as they will be like that for u every time . and no one will live their doors open….

  2. i think people are usually nice to each other in american, many people like to help others.people in New York are different, because New York is a very big city, and there is many people and many competition, so is hard to friendly to each other.

  3. people are nice to a certain degree and usually to the ones they know. if you don't agree with me than thats you. but don't tell me everyone is nice because they aint but they are polite. theirs a difference between being nice and polite.
