"Waiting station"
In the chapter waiting station Loung Ung is woken up by her mother, and she is confused and scared to why her mother woke her up in the middle of the night. It made think whats going on too, something must be happening that Loung's family is in a hurry to move out of Krang Troup as quickly as possible. "why do we have to go, pa?" "it is no longer safe for us to stay here." "Are we walking a long way?" "No, your uncle talked the chief intoo arranging for us to be picked up by a khmer rouge truck. The truck will take us to Battambang. That is where your grandmother lives. This passage showed how eager Loung's family is to leave, and that something big is goin on.

I agree because if I was in this situation I would probably be thinking the same thing. Like why are you waking me up so early it's still dark out what's happening? I could imagine the things going through her mind when her parents woke her up like that.
ReplyDeleteThis post reminds me of almost any body living in a war zone. People are always on alert for attacks and other war related things. If they need to, people will get up and move during the night so they can be safe.
