Chapter Two: Fathers and Daughters
Term: Similie
Le Ly hears her father's voice in her head at the end of the second chapter. After hearing it she says, " I close my eyes onto blackest black I have ever seen, smile with him, and fall asleep like a baby in his arms". The purpose of this quote is to show the readers that Le Ly had a loving relationship with her father. She was a "daddy's girl". I can connect with this because I have always been my father's daughter. I was close with him as a child, and I can relate to the special bond that Le Ly had with her father. Her father taught her what her main job in life was, and I remember my dad sitting me down and teaching me what my job in life is. I believe that the relationships that people form with their family help them become who they are, and Le Ly's relationship with her father has impacted who she is. She has learned philosophies that help her make sense of the war. Le Ly uses a similie in this quote saying that she fell asleep like a baby in his arms. Le Ly is remembering her childhood and her strong, loving relationship with her father.

Sarah, really like the look of your blog. When I tried to listen to Taylor Swift's "Best Day" I did not find a way to hear the song via the link you posted. Let me know, so I can hear this.
