Title: Ms. Geiger's Extra Credit (Wings Academy) -Illis
Review: Breath,Eyes,Memory by,Edwidge Dandicat,is a coming of age story about a girl who leaves her home of Haiti,to live with her mother in the United States.As the daughter of a poor immigrant,Sophie stays fully determined to acquire the dreams of her mother to stay pure,and her aunt's dreams of an education.As Sophie progresses throughout the story,she realizes that she is a child born out of rape. Her face painting the reflection of her mother's attacker. We see throughout the book,Sophie playing a strong role, taking on the full weight as savior of her mother's nightmares as well as contending to her own conflicting roles as a independent woman.The gaps in between the story impose growth in Sophie's character,leaving much to the reader's imagination.I very much enjoyed reading this book.Coming from a Caribbean background,I was able to relate to the struggles of the Haitan people.I highly recommend this book to all my classmates.
