The protagonist of listen slowly is Mai she is Vietnamese but lives in California and her 6th grade year is over and she wants to spend her vacation on the beach. However recent news came up about her long lost grandfather. They must go the Vietnam to possibly find him. Mai does not know anything about the culture or people their. So far their is no clear villain and the supporting characters are her father the dectective and grandmother.

# data[].attributes.body
That Mai does not know anything but a bit of the language and nothing else.

# data[].attributes.body
It is said from Mai that Vietnam is very humid as soon as she touches down she is sweating alot .

# data[].attributes.body
I most likely would not have acted as Mai had because I love visiting other places and the only thing I would complain about would be the humidity

# data[].attributes.body
So far Mai can not handle Vietnam it’s hot and she really does not know what to do when approached by someone in her grandmothers village.

# data[].attributes.body
Vietnam and America are very different from one another vietnam is very humid while the U.S.A can be and can be very very cold. Another thing is that there are not really villages just towns and city’s.

# data[].attributes.body
Again their is no clear villain so far in the book maybe Mai would think of her parents as the villain for dragging her to Vietnam.

# data[].attributes.body
If right now I was in that situation I would be exited to maybe meet my long lost grandfather to know they maybe still alive.

# data[].attributes.body
Ba, the detective, Montana , the mom/dad , and him are all supporting characters Mia is the main character and there is no villain yet

Vietnam has strange weather

# data[].attributes.body
U’t is a supporting character to as she kindof saved Mai's Life.

U’t is sort of mai’s Friend

# data[].attributes.body
Ba’ has met the guard who was with her husband ^Ong and in a shocking moment to everyone espeacialy Mai she slaps the guard across the face because he did not force ^Ong to move and run.

# data[].attributes.body
The detective got the guard to talk to  ba about  ong and what happened the last time the guard saw ong in the war

# data[].attributes.body
It takes place in Vietnam but I don’t know when

# data[].attributes.body
Mai and U’t and ah Minh have gone to a city Ha’ N^oi alone

# data[].attributes.body
Ah Minh is also a supporting character as he is Mai’s translator and is studying over sea’s so he is usually quite serious he is teaching Mai Vietnamese however it’s very hard for her. Also he is always serious because he does not want to let everyone down because the whole village raised money for him to study over seas.

# data[].attributes.body
Not sure about the year but after the Vietnam war most likely early 21st century maybe 2011.

# data[].attributes.body
Some of the main characters are UT Mai and Ba

# data[].attributes.body
They are trying to find the guard so they can get the litter

# data[].attributes.body
Ahh Minh is a translator and supporting character

# data[].attributes.body
They are trying to find Mai’s grandfather

# data[].attributes.body
Mai and U’t have gone south to see what O^ng wrote down during the war.

# data[].attributes.body
Their is no villain in the story at all maybe the guard but he just did the wrong thing but it always weighed him down he did not want to do what he did he would reverse it if he had the chance.

# data[].attributes.body
I would be doing anything to find my long lost grandfather that lives in another country.

# data[].attributes.body
This is deffinetly not in the 20th century so after Vietnam it’s a little hard to say.

# data[].attributes.body
