In Case Study about Chapter 12 and this movie, we can know that there were some culture shock between two groups. In this movie, some American travelers took pictures with Amish people and they put ice cream to Amish people's face. But Amish people do not like conflict with others. Book adapted to Amish environment and he fell in love with Amish woman. Case Study in Chapter 12, Dita faced a lot of troubles in America. She did not like the weather and food there.

Reaction to Film:
I think it is good for us to study in America because it has some culture shock in this film. I can learn a lot of solutions in it. I am a international student, when I came to America, I felt uncomfortable and sick. I adjusted myself, but it was very difficult because I did not adapt the weather and food here. Now I feel fine because we have American Culture class. I learn a lot from this class. When we discuss together, I will compare my lift in America. I think this film is good.
