Sugar CVL

While watching Sugar, I've been paying attention to how Sugar's actions and things that happen to him show how he feels about the U.S. and being in a strange new place. One of the first scenes that caught my attention is the one where Sugar is alone at the diner trying to order food, and decides to try something other than french toast. But when he cannot say what kind of eggs he wants, he just gives up and orders french toast. The waitress then brings him all three types of eggs on the house, and explains all of them to him. This scene really showed how lost Sugar was at the start of his journey, and I'm sure that the fact that he was alone at the diner was a symbol to show that he was alone in the U.S. as well. The second part that I felt also fit into this theme was the montage of Sugar doing things in the U.S. after his games. This part shows Sugar beginning to grasp some concepts and start to adapt to life in the U.S.. It shows him doing things like ordering food, cashing checks, things the everyday American would do. He's learning how to do these things because they're things he has to do, but you learn that he still struggles with things he hasn't had to deal with yet, but I'm sure Sugar will rise to the occasion.
