Student Rec: Behind the Mountains



BEHIND THE MOUNTAINS

Written by Edwidge Danticat

Student: M.R.




Her teacher gave her a little book, something that she can use it in any way. She wants to use it to write her thoughts inside of it. Her papa don’t live with her, but he still help by sending money from New York. She lives in a village on top of a mountain in (Beau Jour). She likes to draw and she is a very hard working. She gets money from papa to pay for food clothing and more. The mom works at the market for some money. May have to go to tailor school for some money. Sometimes May come home angry because people tease her about his father. (He got into a fight because of his classmate teasing him). Their papa give them cassettes every day to keep connection with them. Sometimes he will forget to mention her name he never answer her questions in the cassette. She fill like the dad forget what he is to."

Songs that remind me of the book are:
-Hello by Adele
-Hello by Lionel Richie
