While reading this new novel, I come across something very significant in this scene. The scene that I discovered important was Sophie’s concern of reading with someone. The reason she was concerned about this because the young should learned how to read from the old, respected and wiser people. Another scene which I found very important was Tante Atie not going to New York with Sophie to see the latter’s mother. Tante Atie told Sophie that she cannot go to New York because she had to take care of Sophie ‘s grandmother at home. In addition, Atie was only in Croix-des-Rosets because of Sophie ‘s schooling. I feel pretty upset that Tante Atie cannot be with Sophie, but Sophie’s mother wanted to see her for real. Atie says, “When she left you with me, she and I, we agreed that it would only be for a while” (Danticat, 20). This proves why Sophie’s mother really wanted to see her own daughter for the first time since the latter was with Tante Atie.
