First They Killed My Father Post #1

Hours:2
Pages: 57[1-57]
1-Well so far I think the book has been sad, and I think that because at the begining the Family had to evacuate and kinda leave the U.S because of a bomb the U.S had to put. It's really sad when a family has to leave a place they kinda had been living for a while. I also think that its really hard to belive that because imagine the U.S or some state u live in putting a bomb and then you have to evacuate when you have no other place to live.So the begining was sad for what they had to do.

2-Well I think that 1 of the main character would be Young because she is kinda like a talkative person and like to me she is very talkative and like kinda whiny too. So this character is new to me because usually there is more other characters that talk alot, but in this book she is more like a talkative and whiny person. Plus this book is a little bit familiar to So Far Away From Bamboo Grove because there is a part were the family has to move because they had to go away from s place they were living in.
3-Where do you think they would go live since they didnt let Khumer know to what place they were staying?

3. I think that they'll find somewhere to live because Loung has really smart parents and sibilings. They also might go and live with a family member for a while and then they'll find their own home. I also think that if they don't find a place to live, that they'll go and live in a concentration camp (--sad--) like a Cambodian Holocaust :(.

1. I feel really sorry for the family too. Still Loung said that she hasn't heard any planes go by yet. It's clear that the soldier lied to them.

2. Well, she's only five years old. Also she doesn't understand the danger that she is in because she is so young. So of course she going to whine.

3. I think she is going to her grandparents house or something like that. I also agree with Ambar if they don't find a place soon they might be sent to work camps.

(3.) I think that maybe if they can't go live with family members then they might have to go to camps like in the Holocaust. I agree with Vivian, Loung is very young and doesn't fully understand the danger they are in.
