Interesting Sentences

"You forget. You forget you don't really exist here, that this isn't your home." (page 8)

I like these sentences because there's a short sentence that is the beginning of the next sentence. The sentence is really well written and shows how Nadira felt about America (New York). I was wondering why she forgets. I was thinking that she forgets because she wants it to be her home, but it's not. I like how she says that you forget because it's true. You are so busy with your life that you forget that your home is not where you are living now. I wonder why Nadira forgets. I mean it can be her home, she just has to accept it as her home.

  1. I too think that the sentences are really well written and they fit together. I liked the way you pointed out that Nadira can call it her home, she just has to accept it. I hadn't thought about it that way.

  2. Really good quote Talia. It's really short but it has a lot of meaning there. The sentence is almost as if you step into her shoes and you can see clearly out through her eyes.
