This chapter begins with June’s mother’s views of America and
the American dream theory that you can live if you were to live
there. June’s mother has had high hopes for her from when she
was young, and tried to push her towards different carriers all
her life. June’s mother got the idea of piano lessons from the
“Ed Sullivan show” and after watching that made her daughter
take up piano lessons everyday. June wasn’t happy with her
decisions and was later forced into joining a talent show at the
church. She let her mother down and failed miserably but her
mother still didn’t give up hope until June mentioned her other
two kids that died. That affected her mother, and she stopped
forcing her to do things and let her make her own decisions.
