Multiple Choice: 1.   = =       Decide whether would Chipo have had any hope without Neely and Vita. 2.  Tell why Neely and Vita wanted to adopt Chipo. 3.  Relate to Neely and Vita. Have you ever wanted to help someone or people who needed you? 4.  Predict what Chipo’s life would be like in America. How would it differ from those in Zimbabwe? 5.  Select and state a difference in people from Zimbabwe and Americans. __ Answers  __ 1.  Chipo would not have had any hope without Neely and Vita because they were her only chance. The doctor told them that if Chipo did not stay with them she would die. She needed the good care and love they had for her. That was the only way she would have survived. Without them she would have died in the poor orphanage. 2.  They wanted to adopt Chipo because when they were taking care of her, they stared to fall in love with her. She was the sweetest thing to them and they wanted her as their own. It happened the moment they held her and looked into her eyes. They felt something special in her. 3.  Yes, I have been waiting to take care of my grandmother ever since I was young. I want to become a doctor so I can take care of people that need my help. My grandma is getting old and she needs someone to love and take care of her. I want to be there to help her. 4.  Chipo’s life would probably be great in America. She would have freedoms and chances she wouldn’t get in Zimbabwe. With good parents like Neely and Vita she would do great. For the children in Zimbabwe they are left to die and rarely get a chance to live. Now Chipo would have a chance to live and succeed in a free country. 5.  The people in Zimbabwe are more stuck up and selfish. The Americans want to help and save lives but the Zimbabweans are too mean to allow help. They don’t want to feel like charity work so they don’t except American help.
