Chaper One: Coming Back
Term: Topic
The topic of a couple of paragraphs throughout chapter one was what Le Ly Hayslip learned from her mother. She learned that "In the East, we believe we are born with happiness and one of life's important tasks, my mother told me, is to protect it". While I was reading this chapter I thought about happiness and what it means to me. Happiness is what makes every day worth while. There are many reasons why I need happiness in my life. It is what makes me who I am, and it allows me to achieve goals in my life. I believe that happiness brings out the best in people, and if people made their happiness a priority, we would not have all the violent acts that are present in the world today. In this novel, Le Ly's mother tells her to make sure she protects her happiness, and I believe the reason she tells Le Ly this is because she is trying to teach her that it can be taken away easily if Le Ly lets it. Le Ly needs to make sure she protects her happiness and puts it first because it will ultimately help her throughout her life.
