A world away

I was reading a book called "A World Away" its about a Amish girl her name is Eliza. She want to see the world outside her home. One she turn 16 she will have her rumspringa. A "rumspringa" is once you turn 16 you can go out and explore. One night they were having people over so they can see how the Amish girl Rachel asked what Eliza was going to do for her rumspringa. Eliza's mom answered and said that she will be staying home and that she will not be going out to explore. Eliza wanted to go and see the modern world she did not want to stay home. In the book it says,"When we choose to be different, we have to expect a little attention." This is saying that she started to get attention because she was different and she wanted to go out to explore and not listen to her mother.
