Ha and her family cling to their old life as a way to cope while the war changes everything around them.

The Vietnam War led to a decline in the working population, uncertainty in the economy and a rise in debt due to government spending being focused on the war and not society's infrastructures (ex. schools, food production, etc). 

Connection to IOBA;
We see Ha's family experience inflation when they see the cost of food rise dramatically and they are hardly able to afford basic food staples such as potatoes and rice.]]> 2021-11-18 02:36:08 UTC https://padlet.com/27jw02/71gsciqe2789a6k6/wish/1898466793 27jw02 https://padlet.com/27jw02/71gsciqe2789a6k6/wish/1898466796 Coming soon...]]> 2021-11-18 02:36:08 UTC https://padlet.com/27jw02/71gsciqe2789a6k6/wish/1898466796 27jw02 https://padlet.com/27jw02/71gsciqe2789a6k6/wish/1898466797 2021-11-18 02:36:08 UTC https://padlet.com/27jw02/71gsciqe2789a6k6/wish/1898466797 27jw02 https://padlet.com/27jw02/71gsciqe2789a6k6/wish/1898466799 2021-11-18 02:36:08 UTC https://padlet.com/27jw02/71gsciqe2789a6k6/wish/1898466799 27jw02 https://padlet.com/27jw02/71gsciqe2789a6k6/wish/1898466801 2021-11-18 02:36:08 UTC https://padlet.com/27jw02/71gsciqe2789a6k6/wish/1898466801 27jw02 https://padlet.com/27jw02/71gsciqe2789a6k6/wish/1898466803 Jot down what you've learned about the perspectives of the following:

Poem: Choice
The doll represents Ha, as the doll has been though a lot, getting bit by a mouse and abandoned by neighbors, Ha also has a lot of scars, like first her dad disappearing, and then the war

Now that we know more about the chick, we know it also represent Khois old life, just like the papaya trunk, and as they died, it is Khoi letting go]]> 2021-11-18 03:22:05 UTC https://padlet.com/27jw02/71gsciqe2789a6k6/wish/1898556598 27jw02 https://padlet.com/27jw02/71gsciqe2789a6k6/wish/1905438770 Poems: Sssshhhhhhh, Crisscross, Should We
Quotes: “No matter what Mother decides, we are not to leave, I must protect my chick, and you your papayas.” “What if Father comes home and finds his family done?”

Brother Khoi clearly wants to stay in Saigon, no matter what. But in crisscross, brother Khoi finally decides that mother has had too much pain, and agrees to leave]]> 2021-11-22 06:55:18 UTC https://padlet.com/27jw02/71gsciqe2789a6k6/wish/1905438770 27jw02 https://padlet.com/27jw02/71gsciqe2789a6k6/wish/1911946082 There is new symbolism in Part 2, like Brother Khois chick. Brother Khoi had a pet chick, which later on died, the chick represents his old life, and as he throws his corpse into the sea, he is letting go of what’s holding him back. There is also mother’s amethyst ring. It is the last piece of hope of money, but also fathers last piece of memory.]]> 2021-11-25 05:59:48 UTC https://padlet.com/27jw02/71gsciqe2789a6k6/wish/1911946082 27jw02 https://padlet.com/27jw02/71gsciqe2789a6k6/wish/1911949573 4.

5. Growth, Ha has started to learn to adapt to sea life, and realize how serious things are right now
6. Death and Rebirth (no)

Boat people: they want to be like Ha and her family, to be on a boat, arrive in a safe place with food to eat, but that just isn’t the case, they must go on small boats, ration as less food as possible, and attempt to escape with low chances
2. The US: they want to save south Vietnam, by opening up refugee spaces in America
3. Ha: Ha is the main perspective of this story. She is a 10 year old girl in a quite serious war, and doesn’t understand much. 
4. Mother: she is sad and worried. She is a single mother taking care of four kids. It is very difficult and tiring, feeding everybody is hard by yourself
5.
