I think that this story was very, very dark. I think that rose's life, is very dark and sad, and just not very happy. Also, i think that something big in this story so far is that mothers and daughters in this book have very stressful relationships. Like in this story, Rose is telling her past struggles with her life, even though her and her mother's relationship wasn't good at all, they still managed to deal with each other, somehow. Something that i felt was important in this story was the mentioning of water, life, death and a dragon that gets spoken about during a conversation with Bing. Something I found out, is that in the Asian culture, life, death, and elements are very important to them. Also, i think that this book has a very unique way of creating the minds of Chinese and Asian people, because they talk about seeing demons and dragons and their ancestors in their dreams. I am starting to really like this book, and I think it's beginning to get a lot better.
