And my father's sister whispered A boy named jack was bad enough. But only so my mother could hear. Name a girl Jack, my father said, and she can't help but grow up strong. Raise her right, my father said, and she'll make that name her own" (Woodson 6).

 I like this part because first i know a lot of boys named Jack and second it specifies how gender was said to be like then even at birth of a person. It shows the start of her life and what her parents had wanted her to be when she is growing.]]> 2019-05-10 13:20:50 UTC https://padlet.com/beatsus/5dedgrsxyvr5/wish/358862960 https://padlet.com/beatsus/5dedgrsxyvr5/wish/358932033 "Maybe soldiers will no longer//patrol our neighborhood//maybe I can jump rope//after dark//maybe the whistles//that tell mother//to push us under the bed//will stop screeching"(Lai 4).

This passage stands out to me because it shows how hard Ha's life was. It makes me think about all the things that we get to do, and we take for granted. I wonder how much Ha remembers before the war started. This passage helps me really paint a clear picture of how much Ha and her family are going through.

is crying hard, 
snotting the hem
of her fluffy blouse___...

TiTi shoves into my hand
a tin of flower seeds
we gathered last fall.
We hoped to plant them
together"(Lai 10).

This tells me that Ha's best friend really meant a lot to her and she meant a lot to their best friend. It really impacts them because when they move their they lost each other. They don't have smartphones or video games that they can talk with each other miles and miles away. So when they're gone, they're gone. This obviously means a lot to them as they had to stick together to keep going through that war. but without each other it's going to be harder]]> 2019-05-10 19:06:10 UTC https://padlet.com/beatsus/5dedgrsxyvr5/wish/359011870
