The literature I chose to read this week was An Animal’s Place and The Death of a Moth. These two reading were similar in the way that they talked about living.

As we hugged‚ we murmured‚ “Mama‚ Mama.” I stepped back and said‚ “Meimei Jandale‚” which means my little sister has grown up. We were wiping
