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.
