Quote: Chapter 13 (page 116)

"That's what I think of now as I get off the bus and walk by the store where Ali-Uncle works. Breathe. Get through this. Find your way to the other side." I think that it is sweet how she thinks of Abba even at a time when he is in jail. I think that it was at neat representation of what her father taught her. Instead of using it to swim, I like that she used it for calming down. She used it for deep-breathing and at a time like this that was useful.
