My useless husband, Hans, mumbles, “I see the car”. We step outside, most people think Hans and I are crazy for opening our home to these two children, but every little bit of money that we can earn helps. Plus, they can help with the laundry, I think and smile.

A group consisting of parents and children living together in a household, is a definition of a family. Many would argue the definition because of how broad it is, or for how narrow-minded it is. That is exactly how a family works, everyone is entitled to their opinion but most of them will not matter. What if people with those titles live together, but do not care or love one another, are they still a family? So many things can be said about a family, especially the Bundren’s in the novel, As I Lay Dying by William Faulkner. The family is made up of a father, mother, and five children. They fall under the definition of a family, but are broken. The relationships between the father Anse, the mother Addie, the sons Cash, Darl, Jewel, Vardaman, and the only daughter Dewey Dell are all very different from each other. In As I lay Dying, the death of Addie and the dysfunction of the family dynamics, leads to the downfall of each character.

When you are a child attempting to make friends, one of the most essential “get to know you” questions is what is your favorite color? For most of us, this is an easy question to answer and does not require deeper thinking. In the case of Loung Ung, it would have been that way too. That is, if she had gotten to remain a child who continuously loved red with no strings attached. In the memoir First They Killed My Father by Loung Ung, the color red symbolizes different stages of the author’s life. Loung grew up in Cambodia and until she was five she led a spoiled, upper-middle class life with her eight family members. Then the tyrannical Khmer Rouge and their leader Pol Pot came to power, forcing the Ungs into a life of labor and suffering. Over the torturous next four years Loung lost two of her sisters and both her parents. After the Khmer Rouge’s defeat, she left for America, never truly leaving Cambodia behind. In the novel, the color red’s symbolism shifts from Loung’s culture and personality, her hatred for the Khmer Rouge, and lastly, her love for those she could never let go of- her family.

Good Afternoon fellow classmates and peers, our names are Ashley and Sipse and today we will be discussing one of the many organizations that Loung Ung has teamed up with and how it impacts our world.

Imagine seeing a person being stripped from their home and the family members who love and care for them being separated into different camps. Only to be brutally treated and killed for the religion they believe in. This is what happened to almost the entire Jewish population in Europe in the 1930’s to the early 1940’s.

First They Killed My Father is first and foremost a memoir about the horrific genocide of the Cambodian people under Pol Pot’s regime. In regards to the emotion love, there’s hardly any evidence of romance to be found. However, with that in mind, it’s not hard to see aspects of a love story hinted at several parts throughout it. These hints are often not shown in the way most people associate love stories but alongside Ung’s description of the struggles and hardships she faced under Pol Pot.
