When he arrived in Houston he finds it difficult to adapt to an urbanized city-life. He was not that got in English which created a language barrier between him and the people in America. He went to English speaking class to learn English and get a proper education, he also wanted to promote English within the small household that contained many other Lost Boys. He was afraid of racism against him he faced a number of subtle racial comments,he made this judgment because he was much more darker in color than even the resident African-American. Although most of the people Peter meets specifically while in Kansas are nice to such as his friends from high school and girl that befriends quickly, he meets with a school counselor who doesn't really think much of him in terms of effort. The counselor is a prejudging person since he undermines Peter on their first meeting together, due to Peter's lesser knowledge of the school subjects and the lack of English.
