In the beginning of the reading we learn that Sophie is still in Hati and in a way has ran away from her life in amwerica. I feel that this moment is an important symbol for Sophie , it’s like for her going back to Hati gives her the piece of herself that was stolen from her when she was forced to go to America. I feel that bad for Tante Atie because I feel like she never truly lived her own life. She scarficed and cared for her mother and her sister’s child. She never married or had career of her own. I feel that this thought is a constant idea in the back of her head, haunting her.
