What I think happened before i started reading this story was that the main character came from his homeland, which his homeland is a very bad place and that he and his family needed to get out of the place. So now he lives in an apartment with his wife and his daughter. They are poor and he is working on the sides of highways and picking up trash, he is trying to help and support his family the best he can, he also works at a store during the night to earn extra money. If I was in the story and I was the main character I would see hard working people trying to get money to support their family if they have any family. I would also see people from different places like from china and other places. Some facts about the book is that there isn’t really an chapters, it’s more of each chapter in a book would normally read it would be the point of view from both of the main characters. The first chapter was the mans point of view, it shows how much money he is in need of and what his normal day is typically like. In the second chapter it is the woman’s point of view so the struggle of her husband leaving her and not having enough money to pay bills for her house and being kicked out of her house that she had handed down to her by her dad. My opinions about the book is that I was kind of confused about what was going on in the first chapter, I wasn’t expecting to start off with the man. It also started off with the man in the middle of his day shift of the first job he has. I like this book not like I love this book but it’s getting to the I love this book feeling when you read a book.
