Little Saigon by David St. John and Zelzah: A Tale From Long Ago By Norma Fox Mazer

I know Asian have thousand and thousand stories and idioms because Asian lived 6,000 years. They wrote many stories to teach the lesson. I hear a stories from woman who comes from China and Gallaudet student. She told us true story that one of Chinese village don’t have any food. Teacher draw the bread picture on the black board to make children to see a food. Teacher erased the part of bread and told the children chew the bread to play with their brain. After that, they felt full from ghost bread. I was touchy her story. I started to fall in Chinese and Asian stories and idiom.
ohh what is Saigon for? It is city of Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam. Saigon is old name for the city. Are they leaving their country go America? I think so.
In Saigon story, it was little confused because it is poetry all thought the all story. I know she move to America but become orphan. She moved France. She moved twice in big time. From Korean, America and at last is at Paris, France. She have learning a different language as Zelzah have learn English from Polish language.
My first though, that she live in somewhere in Asia because girl’s name until I read “Jacob”, “Anna” or “Sarah”. I was feeling that is not Asian name. I found out it is in Poland. I can see Poland can be poor that family has to sleep in one bed with 6 people in it. They already used it but I bet it already annoying to feel squeeze or poke in her in sleeping. Zelzah’s family is weird because her sisters have a weird personality each. Cripple, princess, “must to be fairness’, and other is in her family. I thought Anna do have OCD because she do follow the parents told her to clean as always. At the time, she didn’t get a duty then she will stare at dirty thing for a hour or more. It was overwhelmed me when I read this paragraph.
Last paragraph, Zelzah is happy because she not have a worry to find a husband and becoming successful. She is teacher and students are her children. She do have a heart in her students.
Both stories talk about go America to leave their beloved country but they have to move for a reason like finding a husband
