1.I finished the book and so and it had kind of a happy ending.She was able to get to America, but she couldn't get all of her family to America. Still I'm getting to far ahead of myself. When Loung, Chou and Kim were sent away I couldn't believe it. The sent her own children away. Loung was only seven years old. Then Loung got sent away to a tougher camp for stronger children and Chou got left behind. When Loung got to the tougher camp they taught her how to kill just like a soldier. Also we found that Geak and Ma were killed by the Khmer Ruogh soldiers. Then the Youn soldier invaded and took Loung away to a camp. Where she found her brother Kim and her sister Chou. They were being shifted to foster family to foster family. One of the Youn soldier tried to rape Loung untill she kicked him the groin. Then there was killing of a Khmer Rough soldier. Finally Loung and her brother and sister met up with their two older brothers.
2. My favorite part was when Loung showed us all of the pictures of her family. I loved reading the little captions she had for her family. My favorite was the picture was Loung and her sister Chou were posing for a picture and they had on their cute little dresses. One made me really sad when a caption said that one picture was the only one of Geak. I knew then that Geak must have died during the war because Loung showed pictures of the living siblings when they were adults so that made me sad.
3. How do you think felt when she Chou first saw Loung after finally went back to Cambodia?
