Adeline Yen Mah-



5.Comments:
1.Well so far, they are on their way to board on a ship and head to Hong Kong. Aunt Reine and her family was really nice to Adelien and treated her equal to everyone. Adeine was touched when she was treated as someone that is wanted. Thinking that no longer she'll meet Niang's eyes again she became unsure. And before she knows it Niang was right in front of her.
2. When they arrived in Hong Kong, no one greeted Adeline but Ye Ye. Everyone else was focused on Aunt Reine and her family. And in a glance of Ye Ye, Ye Ye had given up, he was no longer the head of the family.
3. Victor was Aunt Reine son, he was the nicest person to Adeline, when everyone left on a trip to eat in a restaurant while Adeline has to stay home. He decided to stay home with her.
4. After Aunt Reine and her fmaily left, Adeline was inrolled into a school called Scared Heart School and Orphanage. There she knew that Niang really wanted her to leave.
5. But lucky, Adeline was going to school now and won't see Niang as much. She felt happy and excited to get away, since father doesn't even notice her and no one really wanted her.


4.Questions:
1.Does Niang know that Aunt Reine and her family is really close to Adelien and that shetook out of Tianjin beforehand?
2.Why did Ye Ye lose? And what happened to him while Adeline was gone?
3. Where is the rest of the family? And aunt Baba? Is Big sister ever going to return anymore?
4.What is going to happen next? What will happen to Adeline?

2.Forlornly: desolate or dreary; unhappy or miserable, as in feeling, condition, or appearance.
3.Anguish: excruciating or acute distress, suffering, or pain: the anguish of grief.


2.Literary Terms:
1.Allusion: She made a referance about chinese's history and it's literature and writing. Almost 2 pages of explaination of words and how it is so difficult.
2.Dialogue: When Adeline is having a conversation with Ye Ye. Most of teh entire book is in 1st POV and she talkignt o many people.
