I feel i don't share experiences like her much maybe just preferring a parent more than the other. My family is different because my parents do work and bring back money so we have a living, food, clothes, beds, etc. My parents also always tried to make an effort to buy us the things we need, always have a way to get to school, go out to eat. I learned you should never pity or shame anyone even the parents because we don't know what their story is or how they got there. I also learned to the kids are never at fault for the chooses the parents make.

1. The author at the age of 3 was making herself food because he parents said she is capable of doing it on her own. This shows a perspective that the author is independent because at a young age she was doing this most kids her age still weren't able to comprehend well.

2. This book evokes feelings of surprised, pity, confusion. They're always on the run. So they don't have a stable place to be at, their parents are always having them or letting them be in dangerous situations, they also don't have a stable living and work environment.

3. A pattern i see is the running away when things get bad and leaving the kids alone. They run away from the bank collected.
