Leave Home "The First Day" (7-19)

            In this story, I can tell a little girl's mother wanted the best for her daughter. The little girl did not realized that her mother cannot read and write. The story makes me question if many parent has not been expose to read and/or write? How can a child have a better education without the parent's education experience or support from their experience? It makes me wonder what will this little girl do after she realized her mother cannot read and write? Does it motivated her to do better? I believe the significance of the title is to realize the begining of everything at age of five years old. The specific words or phrases used to describe characters is lost, the mother was not exposed to read and write and the little girl were obviously not exposed from her mother.
