Weekly summary: Kien talks about his childhood in vietnam.

Weekly thought: In the beginning of the book Kien was born into a wealthy family but when the communist began to invade south Vietnam, he became poor. This is similar to great grandmother because she became poor when the communist came in. My great granmother was so wealthy, she own many acres of land. She was also able to afford to travel to many places such as japan and france. However, when the communist from the North made their way to the south, they stole all my great grandmother's properties and drove her into poverty. Because of this, she had to find a way to survive without any money. She began to find some jobs so she can feed her family and it was difficult for her because she was a single mom. Plus she had like seven childrens. However, she pulled through and was able to keep the family intact. By reading this book, i quickly notice Kien and my great grandmother are very similar in many ways. They both had a hard life and everything was taken from them by the communist. This proves that life is not always easy. There are always rough times ahead.
