Summer reading post #3

The part in my book that really grabbed my attention and I couldn't stop reading was when they started talking about Mi gook and what everyone thought about it.  It talks about Apa (one of the characters) says that in Mi gook anyone can make money. Even if they went to a non important school or an important school. Uhmma another character in the book says that everyone in Mi gook looks pretty, like China dolls. She says that they all live in big pretty houses, much bigger than the biggest in their village, the rich fisher man. Ju mi another character in the book tells the main character in the book that she would like to live in Mi Gook. One of the direct queotes was "Then one day Apa gets a letter that makes him hug uhmma so tight her eyes cry. Now every time Apa says Mi gook, he smiles so big I think maybe he is a doggy like Mi Shi. When we are eating our dinner, Apa and Uhmma can only talk about Mi Gook. No more mean eyes over the rice bowl, my stomach keeps the rice inside like a good stomach is suppose to do. I hope they will talk about Mi Gook forever and ever." This whole passage just  makes me kind of happy because they actually enjoy thinking and talking about America. It also makes me happy to think that moving to Mi Gook will change their lives forever in the better. This whole section of the book really just makes you think that their lives now are really bad because they think America is going ot be this amazing place when really everyone who lives in America for their whole life knows that parts of America aren't good at all.
