Caught bird

Loung's brother Kim caught a small bird and brings it home to his mom for her to cook it for dinner. The following passage showed a inside of Loung's feeling and thoughts about animals and living things, also shows a more compassionate side of Loung. "Tonight we will have a good dinner," Ma announces, smiling and finally letting go of the bird. Though dead and drained of blood, its body shakes violently in the dirt. "Poor bird," I whimper, reaching over to softly pet its feathers.
Loung feels so bad for the bird since she is still petting it as it dies, which shows how much she cares for a living thing.

  2. This shows how poor the family is. Even though they feel bad for the bird, it's still considered a good meal for them.

  3. Though Loung really cares about animals, they need to eat. And because they are so poor, a bird is considered it a meal.
