Chapter Thirteen - Finding Peace - Peace and Forgiveness
"That you're never too old to forgive people; that it's never too late to patch the dike and save a little more of whatever life's left in you (Hayslip 337)." This quote shows that even after EVERYTHING that Le Ly had gone through she did not give up. She had strength each time to keep moving forward. Le Ly had not been a flat character throughout her life. Every time something happened to her, she would learn from it and become a wiser, stronger person. In my life this quote is significant because it remind me that each time I am struggling, I need to push myself a little farther to restore everything that I have felt is lost. It's always early to start and realize that you can reach peace in your life. As she said, it is never too late to forgive those who have hurt you because as posted before, they will make you stronger. Lastly, it is okay to stop and look back in your life to fix everything that you someday felt guilty of or hurt you in someway.

I really liked your view on Chapter Thirteen and I fully agree that Le Ly used her experiences to grow from in a positive way. In the end this was very beneficial for her, as it would be for anyone. I think that Finding Peace was a very influential chapter in the book specifically because of this lesson; that which hurts you only makes you stronger.
