5th blog post

"This is our house, this is our home."
This quote is said by the main character at the end of book after she and her mom buys a house. At the end of the book the abusive father leaves the family and goes back to asia with another women. The main character makes it into college and buys a house with her mom.

This quote shows that the main character and her mom finally reached the American dream. They were able to come to america with empty pockets and make a living, they eventually were able to buy a house. I am amazed by this because it's a true story and I thought they were going to crumble and go back to Asia since the dad left them to go back. They rose above the odds and through hard work the main character was able to attend college and have their own home.
