Response to Julianna's Blog

I agree with Julianna's response to the quote about storytelling. It really creates a picture of what it may have been like in Bangladesh, where children would listen to the elder's stories in the evening. I also think that the theme of Chapter 3 was a good idea, where he story takes a break to tell you about their first home. The way the family thinks about it and the book describes their home makes it seem like they wish they hadn't left. The descriptions are very pretty, and have a sort of nostalgic air to them. I wonder why they moved to New York.
