Chapter Five: Losing Love
Term: Point of View
Le Ly has become pregnant with Anh's child, and her mother wants her to try and kill the baby. Le Ly tried to kill the life inside of her but gave up because she believed that her love for Anh and the kindness she showed to his wife would cause her to accept and help Le Ly. Le Ly told herself that "all that was left for me was to make my peace with god for my attempts to abort the unseen life inside me". First-person point of view is being used, and I believe that the purpose of this quote is to tell readers that God will forgive people for their mistakes if they make an effort to ask for forgiveness. Le Ly realized that what she tried to do was wrong and wanted to make peace with God. Abortion is something that is happening in the world today. It is a personal choice that women make, and it ultimately ends the life inside of them. Some people are pro-life while others are not. Abortion is a choice that many people face just like Le Ly faced when she became pregnant with Anh's baby.
