She shows this by being sentimental over her mother's belongings, the way she admires Pa (her father), the thought she put into how her father was killed, the grief she felt when she realized Geak and her mother were killed, when she was holding back tears when she thought about how Ma, Pa, Keav, and Geak could never make it to America. “Chou and I come home to find Kim in the corner of the hut watching the mother go through our things. I climb the steps and sit by him, holding in my anger” (Ung 133). Her…

The main idea of Black Lives Matter is to show that, literally, black lives matter just as much as other lives. They want to get the point across that black lives are more in danger when it comes to police interaction than, say, white lives.

The BLM are not here to say that the lives of black men and women are superior…
