Lost Sister Quote

"And the daughters were greatful; they never left home. To move was a luxury stolen from them at birth."

This is an important quote because it shows what the life was like of a little chinese girl. It explains that they were never allowed to leave the house and they were like that from birth to present. It shows how the life of someone there was not a very good one. It also shows how little power the women have there. The fact that they can't even go outside of their own homes suggests that they had little freedom and just did what they were told. It makes it sound like they never saw the light of day and only were inside all of the time.

This poem shows that the way people live is the type of person they are going to be. Peoples surroundings affect them in every way. People's family also affect who they are because if the family is a mean family the kid will likely become an aggressive person too. The poem describes this girls life and how dim it is and unsatisfying it really is. The girl probably feels like this because of the harsh surroundings that she has grown up in for her entire life.
