 Possible Quote: 
 “We soon all got the furniture we needed, plus a dart board and a 1,000-piece jigsaw puzzle (fourteen hours later, we discovered that it was a 999-piece jigsaw puzzle). There was hope that the Lins might become a normal American family after all.” (61)

 Possible Response
- When I look at this quote I notice first the word normal. What is normal? Especially when I think of what America is founded on, immigration, the melting pot. Is there such a thing? Then I think about the missing piece of the puzzle. Does the narrator still feel like she and her family don’t fit in. Or that they are incomplete. Also, that America is like a puzzle, each of us different and we make up the whole.
