    Ha’s life is negatively affected by where and when she is living. For instance, in the poem titled Mother’s Days, Ha’s mother says, “People can barely afford food.” (Page 15) This shows that in the time that this book takes place, the people of South Vietnam don’t have very much money to spend, even on necessary items.

She had/went through an identity crisis because as she stated, “no one ever offered a name for what was wrong with me. That's what made me afraid it was really bad.” She was stuck between of worlds of both genders. I feel very sympathetic with her because I’m sure everyone goes through an identity crisis at certain points in their lives but to have an identity crisis about the very…
