Daisy's third response

In the third part of the book “Step from Heaven”, Anna talked about Ju’s mom was always be there for the family and how Ju, even though she was too little to understand, was always there for her mom. I can see the third reading of the book was full of emotional scene and as I read deep through it, I found myself in the story. The author had done a good job, especially to make the reader feel that they were there with Ju. Overall, Ju’s mom was a strong woman. She stood firm even though she knew that Ju’s dad was making his family’s life difficult. In the chapter “My Best is Always not Enough”, Ju’s mom was been abused by her husband. But her respond was to keep the matter to herself. Ju’s mom was characterized as a loving and tender mom. She worked hard for her family. It was said the book that she had two jobs and she still had time to do the chores in the house. How remarkable this woman was. She was a woman that never stops dreaming for her children and would do whatever she could for her children. Contradictory with Ju’s dad, that in a way never set a good example for his family. He got depressed easily after his mom’ died. His character can be seen as a man that had high pride.  Moreover, in a way, Ju wanted to help her mom but she realized that she just a kid, moreover, she thought that it was better for her to stay in silent than to make the matter worse. Ju realized since his dad became a drinker and had bad habit to abuse his family, her life was totally changed. Ju’s character can be symbolized as the sun that always shines in the midst of darkness. In good time or bad time, she always stood for her mom and her brother.
