Lost Sister

In class a few days ago we read the poem "Lost Sister" and today we were supposed to write about it. We were supposed to find one quote in the poem and talk about why it was important. We were also supposed to find out what the poem says about who you are.
One quote that I got was at the end of the poem, after the girl has tried to rebel by moving away from china. She says "you find you need china: your one fragile identification, a jade link handcuffed to your wrists. You remember your mother who walked for centuries-and like her you have left no foot print" This shows that she regrets moving away from china because it is the only way she will have an identity and be remembered. This is shown by the walking for centuries without leaving any foot prints. The foot prints represent your mark on the world.
The poem tells us that where we are born has a lot to do with who we are. This poem says that where we are born gives us part of our identity. Without our link to where we come from we wouldn't be the same person.
