"Even after September 11, we carried on. We heard about how bad it had gotten. 8"
I found this sentence interesting because it brings the happenings of September 11 into the book. I think this is foreshadowing that the happenings of September 11 will somehow effect the family. They carried on living with expired visas even though the security has gotten much stronger. I also was wondering about what the narrator meant by "had bad it had gotten". How bad what had gotten. Getting work? Going to school? Walking down the street? Immigrating? I am looking forward to reading how the family deals with the "bad".
