I feel like this has a lot to do with the hardships they have while they have made their new life. I think this because it shows how hard life was going while their father was dying. It shows a lot about how she feels about her father and how much she loves her.
I think that she is a young clever girl who shows a lot of her emotion. She shows how she is feeling and what her emotions are, which is one good quality that might become a bad thing. She is a good girl who should know how life is and just because she doesn't want him to die, means he won't die.

It shows how much they feel about the US and about their old country, Haitai, and what they mean to them. It shows a reason why they left Haitai, which was because they had a lot of problems with their government and the laws, and why they went to the US. It shows a lot of feelings about their old country and that they would love it and never go to the US if Haitai was like more countries.
I think that it relates to me because if school was ever given a chance to be like my house, I would have never left school for a long time and just visit my house as if it was a different country. Also I think that it is the place that matters and the people that care that might make a person leave, stay, or come.

Is there anything like this that you think would connect to you?
