Quote

" A photo says, You were happy, and I wanted to catch that. A photo says, You were so important to me that I put down everything else to come watch"(130) This quote was said by Anna and right before this she was talking about how her parents did not take very many photos of her and how she was sad about that. For some reason I just thought this was really cool because it reminds me that when my mom is being annoying and always trys to take pictures of me that its just because she cares about me and that I should be thankful that she does want pictures of me. This reminds me to just keep being thankful for all the great oppurtunties I have.

Theme

I think the theme for this part that I read is to work together and always be there for people who need help.
