These chapters were interesting to me because I got to see what Sophie’s reactions were to meeting her mom for the first time. I felt as shocked as Sophie did when she saw her mom, by when she said “she looked different….” This was showing that Sophie expected to see her mom looking like the photo her aunt Atie had of her but when she saw her finally, she looked different. Sophie’s mom appeared to be looking not to healthy but she still seemed caring so it didnt matter for example she realized she forgot to bring sophie a jacket to keep warm when they go home from the air port,  so she takes her own coat off to give to sophie. that was a good moment i read because i felt like Sophie was about to be treated nicely despite leaving her aunt atie that she felt safe with.
