what really interest me about this section of the reading is how martine, sophie mother was so quick to throw her out of her home and send her back home, because she was having sex, her daughter that she waited so long to bring to america is turning into a young lady and just because she is not your lil girl anymore your throw away in some cases i kinda find martine to be a user, here she uses marc to help get sophie to america and then again here she is using sophie as a trophy to make her self look good because she expects sophie to go to school, get a degree and build a life, but she feel that if sophie start to chasing man it will damage herself for success, in other cases i believe martine is scared that sophie will turn out like her and she uses sophie to try and reflect her success that she never had and after she finds out sophie is no longer innocent she no longer wants her
