5*Comments:
5- Continues in Thanh's story, she once met a boy that was harmed behide her yard and she fell for him but Bab Quan was against it and was worried. There her heart ahced and it was the first time they met. The boy thought she was an enemy however she wasn't. So sad..
4- The stories goes on continue Thanh speaks of Vietnam and conditons once again. Then to the future and the past and the animalas description. All very supsense though I kind of got confused in the near end.
3- Last chapter 13, which is only 3 pages? Lol Thanh had died, I think she sucided, cause she died from overdose pills and voldka. Mai didn't cry because she knew all along, she already held it close to her heart. She thinks back to the time with her mother.
2- Mai also reads the letter after her mother's death she then understands closely. The story makes felt very sad in the end... it was an okay ending.
1- So Mai continues her life like evryone did in Little Saigon and Mai went to college knowing her future is right ahead of hers.

4* Quesion:
4- So Mai made it into the college she wanted?
3- Why did Thanh sucide? Or was it an adcident?
2- Where was Thanh burried? In Vietnam or America? Because my paretns told me to burry them in Vietnam when they die...so they can be along with my ancestors.

3*Vocabulary:
3-Resonating: to resound.2.to act as a resonator; exhibit resonance.
2- amputees: a person who has lost all or part of an arm, hand, leg, etc., by amputation.
1-Tremors: involuntary shaking of the body or limbs, as from disease, fear, weakness, or excitement; a fit of trembling.

2*Literary Terms:
2- Imagery: pg 256. Lan Cao describtive imagery of Thanh's face and condition after she died... Very scary yet a calm face.
1- Metaphor: pg 260. "...only two weeks ago had been a full moon dangled like a sea horse from the sky."

1*Overview:
1- Mai's mother, Thanh died and Mai and everyone else ocntinues their life. Mai sontinue to look forwards her future, eventhough it hurts when she knew how much her mother had sacarficed for her. It's avery nice ending but I felt that Thanh should have lived longer to see her daughter becoming a great person.
