weekly summary: Kien wants to leave Vietnam and go to the U.S.

weekly thought:In the book, Kien could no longer take it living in Vietnam after the communist had take over. That was why Kien want to go to the United States so badly. The reason people in Vietnam escape during the war, was because the government after the Vietnam War. Unfortunately, the communist won. Therefore, there were less freedom for many citizens which caused many Vietnamese to set their eyes on other countries like the United States to live. From what i heard from my parents, my uncles and aunts were one of those people who succesfully escape from the communist regimes. Though it was difficult for them to by-pass the Communist's government, they found a way and sneakily made their way to the United States. My uncle and aunts were those boat poeple. It was a long trek and because of that some people die of thirst and hunger. It's sad to hear stories about how they were on the boat and when a person die, people had to put the dead overboard. The communist had made a serious impact in many Vietnamese lives and its noticeable as many people during and after the Vietnam War had to find a way to escape the Communist. Fortunately my relatives were not caught. If they were caught escaping, it could only mean death for them. In the U.S some Americans were mad at the total number of Vietnamese immigrants entering the country, but some didnt know the reason why they left their homeland. They left behind their homeland because they want to live, and i think that is a good reason.
