are you a student at Connections Academy?
Don't listen to Angel. Listen to Stitch and Hugh. The story doesn't follow Laetitia but her brother and mother. The question was "Write a short explanation of how one of the individuals in this selection is affected by a border crossing".
Laetitia was not affected because the story did not show that.
Laetitia leaves her home because she is bored there not because of her boyfriend. Her mother is affected because she prides being Blackfoot.
Her mother can't pass the border because the guard is asking her citizenship and they only allow American or Canadian. They only allow Laetitia's mother to pass because there is a network van broadcasting what's going on at the border patrol.
You can get why they let her mother pass.
you can cheat
you just gotta know how to cheat well

I am begging you don't listen to angel Laetitia and her boyfriend broke up but she still went to Salt Lake City that story does not follow her but her mother and little brother who are trying to visit her however they got stuck between the borders because of the mothers pride, so I don't know what story angel read but it was not a story from this selection
