Further more in the book Sophie was taken by a lady in the airport and was forced to leave her aunty behind. When she got on the plane she was amazed, she couldn’t believe what she was seeing but it didn’t take her long for her to fall a sleep. When she finally got to New York she was looking for her mother, when she finally saw her she didn’t know how to react because it was her first time seeing her mother after years. But on the other hand her mother took her in and hugged her as it was the last time she was going to see her, she didn’t want to let her go. When her mother brought Sophie to her new house Sophie wanted to fly back to Haiti because it was so different. There was no flowers no where or no one to play with, she just wanted tante Atie. Every day Sophie had to go to her mother’s work because she didn’t have the age to stay by herself in the house. One of those nights her mother decided to tell Sophie that it wasn’t her fault that she got pregnant with her at such young age, but it was until Sophie turned Eighteen years old she understood that her mother got raped.
"Love is like rain. it comes in a drizzle sometimes. then it starts pouring and if you're not careful it will drown you(Danticat 67)
i like this quote because itnot only it's a good advice for everyone but it also expresses a lot of feelings that certain people really feels. i feel like this is good advice for the people that has trouble finding love or people that don't believ in true love.

Breath, Eyes, Memory by Edwidge Danticat pages 1-50
So far Breath, Eyes, Memory is about this girl name Sophie that came from a small village in Haiti called Croix des Rosets, where she grew up and was raised by her aunt Atie. She was always interested in School but never was able to get helped from her aunt because she was not able to read or write. When she would try to help her aunt to read her aunty would put her guard down and ask her to stop making fun of her. Sophie really liked the way she was being raised but little did she know her life was going to change in couple of days. Because her aunt’s inability of reading and writing Sophie’s mother would send money to her with a cassette tape in the envelope so that she could understand what the money was for. In one of those envelope there was a plane ticket and a cassette tape that explain how much she misses her daughter and how she wanted aunt Atie to send Sophie to New York. Mother’s day was coming up and Sophie wanted to do something for her aunt to show her appreciation for all those stuff that she’ve done for her. But aunt Atie was going to accept it like she usually do she wanted Sophie to save it for her real mother. As the time passed aunt Atie didn’t know how to tell Sophie that in less than two days she was flying to New York to her mother. As she told Sophie that, she couldn’t believe that aunt Atie was going to let her leave her. Finally the day came Sophie was happy to go to the city because she never seen it but as she going to the airport she found stuff very different from the village.
"the rope slipped out of her hands the bucket crashing with an echoing splash. I leaped into her arms, nearly knocking her down." (Danticat 23)
I like this quote because i love how the author gave every little details in this sentence during this moment. She described how the bucket fell on the floor and how she let the rope go out of her hand and all the sound effects.
