Visualize: I could picture the scene where Zipporah shows her mother the sewing machine. The text says, "Mama cried like a baby... She sat down at the sewing machine and gently touched it with her small hands." I could picture the mothers face covered in tears as she sat down to gently stroke the sewing machine.

Point Of View: This story is told in first person. The main character (Zipporah) speaks about her life in the United States in her diary. She uses pronouns like "I" and "myself" when referring to herself, which is how first person stories are written. For example: "I can imagine the thick forests surrounding our old village of Zarichka," (P. 60).

Story Archetype: the archetype of this book is voyage. The protagonist (Zipporah Feldman) and her family move to the United States to escape from the violence happening in their home country: Russia. This is a voyage because the protagonist travels to an unfamiliar place and deals with the struggles of surviving in that place.
