a contrast in chapter 1 and 2 is when kya feels lonley after her family leaves but still stays strong and takes care of herself. it shows shes independent even tho shes hurt inside.

She seems very observant and and has deep perspective on whats going around her. people later on shun her and treat her horribly making her feel the similar sense of abandoment that she felt as a child.

One contrast and contradictions moment that stood out to me was when Kya's mother leaves. Kya keeps waiting for her to return revealing that she still has faith that her mother will return. She also has to learn to provide for herself when her mother and siblings leave. This shows us her independence and resourcefulness. She is determined, hardworking and resilient.

I think Kya would ask when her mother is going to come back

one moment was when her whole family abandoned her and she teaches herself how to cook, clean etc.

Kya is very brave and courageous despite the fact she's young. I wouldn't think of her as a replacement mother.

A contrast moment is that when her whole family leaves her (besides her Pa) she feels lonely but she stays positive and figures out a way to take care of herself without help of her Pa.

This reveals that Kya is independent and strong, even though she’s just a child. Most kids would panic or give up, but Kya learns to cook, fish, and care for herself. This moment shows how her loneliness shapes her identity — she becomes self-reliant and connected to nature instead of people.

A contrast moment that I noticed was Jodie's swift disappearance from the shack after seeing Kya at the beach. This stood out to me because of Jodie's caring attitude and protectiveness towards Kya, for him to make the decision to leave the residence knowing she will be abandoned it seemed contrasting to how I expected him to appear in Kya's life moving forward.

The contrast is when kya feels alone and feels like she has no one. The contradiction is that she stayed strong about it and learned independence instead of depending on people.

I'm a bit late on this, but I contrast from later in this book is in Chapter 15 when Ma says "That's what we sisters and girlfriends got to do, is stick together", yet Kya has this to say of her Ma after "Why didn't you stick?
