Significance: This quote applies to number 5. This is because right after this woman offers to be his new mother he immediately declines. I think that this is because he wants to believe that his parents are still alive and that by accepting this woman as his mother he would be betraying his culture and his family.
Personal Connection: My personal connection to this is that I read in Discover Magazine that children are always reluctant to let some one in on their life because they feel like they are betraying the memory of their parent. This is how I think that Achak is feeling the same way.
Question: At this point dose Achak have any intention of searching for his parents or has he given up on that?
Quote 2: An old woman Achak encounters on his journey. "She said that the end was coming and that I should simply sit still and wait."
Significance: This quote goes with number 1. Achak didn't like always running and not knowing weather or not he would make it through the night. this is something that I could not handle.
Personal Connection: I consider myself a very sympathetic person. However, I find it very hard to relate to these people. I feel bad for them, which I don't know is good or bad and I still have no idea of what they went through.
Question: Does the book ever come out and tell you that his parents are dead because I am still unsure?
