First, her own family abandons and leaves her. This causes her to find a new family: a family of “Shvartses”. Finally, she is driven into a whole other religion, a religion completely different and hated by her original family and self. In the novel The Color of Water, Ruth’s life was a contrast between her roots and the rest of her life. Ruth first begins to change when she leaves for New York.
In a slight way with Jack as he makes sure she doesn’t have to go to juvie, but it’s truly shown on pages 258-259 when Vivian pays it forward to Molly and saves her. In this portion of the book Molly has been kicked out of the foster home she was in for the duration of the book. She doesn’t really have anywhere to go and if she went back into the system she would have to move and leave her life behind. Her boyfriend, her last year of high school in a familiar place, and many other things forcing her to start over, a difficult thing to do, especially at her age. Thankfully though Vivian comes through and gives Molly a room in her house.
She was born in Korea and moved to the U.S. in 1983. The story is written based on her experience. To avoid the jail time after bankruptcy, Kim’s family had to move to the U.S. They lived in Queens, New York in an unpleasant place and Kim had a difficult time growing up in such environment because it was totally different life style comparing to what she used to live in Korea. She was a very prohibitive girl but now had to live like a poor girl.
But the remarkable thing about Ruth was…she didn’t care! Courage, in some forms, involves “thumbing one’s nose” to the typical ways of society and following your own way. Like John, Ruth chose to preserve her inner self and work towards her own interests. She faced many conflicts, all of them rooted deep in her own fears. It took courage for her to flee the south, from the only home and the only family she’d ever known, and it took just as much courage for her to defend the new family she created while living in New York.
“She said that my life is being subsumed by yours and that it’s as though I’ve joined some sort of eco-cult and you are the cult leader” (Beaven-75). When Colin contacted his family, he received a similar reaction. His plan was “instead of two three-day trips at Thanksgiving and Christmas” they would “take one weeklong trip for one holiday and stay home and relax for the other” (Beaven-82). His mother did not understand because “the train will run whether you are on it or not” (Beaven-82) and that his sister would be devastated that they would be missing his baby shower. I can only imagine what my family would do if I said something to them like Colin and Michelle did to theirs.
Regret because it made me think how much different my life could be right now if I would still live with my parents, and guilt because well I'm guilty of doing exactly as the author had mentioned is a problem in America. Before reading this I've had some thought that I made a bad life choice leaving so early, but Natadecha-Sponsel does such an immaculate job at connecting this cultural difference to me personally, I think I'm going to have to run home after reading it and give my mom a hug! The author showed me that just because as a society we're brought up to be so individual doesn't mean that other people don’t still appreciate your company, or need you. Along with that I also feel sort of curious to how different not only me, but my family would be if we were brought up in Thailand rather than
Although Wes’ mother tried making it with her children on her own it was very difficult. His mother tried making life as normal as possible, however it became increasingly harder for her as time passed. She ended up moving her family to the Bronx as the children got older and ready to begin school. They had a lot of relatives in Maryland who were very supportive, however she decided to move back home to her parents and into the home she grew up in and had many fond memories of Wes’ (B) mother Mary did not have that option as a single parent. Her own mother died when
