Quote- "And she's the only person I could have asked, to tell me about life's importance, to help me understand my grief." (197)
In chapter 12, Jing-Mei, or June, reflects back on a Chinese New Year dinner with her family and friends. Her mother had died three months ago and she remembers at the dinner that her mother had given her a pendant that was her mothers. Looking at the pendant now, she thinks about her life's importance and what it means. This quote displays how June feels about her mother's passing. She wonders about the meaning of her life now that her mother is gone. She wishes her mother was still around to help her cope with her grief and answer the questions she has about her life. This quote also shows the close bond June has made with her mother over the years and how important her mom is to her life. This quote also shows how June became dependent on her mother for understanding certain things in life. I can relate to how June feels in this quote. I also rely on my mom to help with problems and to teach me lessons about what is important in life. I can always count on my mom to be there when I need her the most. This is how June felt, but now that her mother is gone, she realizes how much her mother means to her.
