Decision To Leave Vietnam

In Ha’s war torn country Ha’s family has to make a decision to leave or stay in Vietnam, but they don’t know what to do. One reason why it is so hard to decide is that Ha has her papaya tree and Khoi has his chicks to raise. Khoi doesn’t want to leave because he wants to see his eggs to hatch, so he wants Ha to stay and raise her tree. Another reason why it is hard is that Quang says that they shouldn’t leave because they should have honor not to leave Vietnam. Quang thinks it is a good idea to stay because he doesn’t want to disrespect his country and he wants to rebuild after the war is over, so he will have honor. Finally, they don’t have a decision yet because mom thinks that their family will change and they will side with the Communists.
