I found the second section of “Native Speaker” to be very interesting and throughout reading it I was able to learn a lot of new details about Henry Park and his past. The first thing that really stood out to me was the story from Henry’s childhood about his mother dying from liver cancer. I thought it was very strange that his parents didn’t want to tell him what was really going on and instead of telling him the truth, they lied to him by saying that she was suffering from “Korean fever” and that the doctors in America didn’t know anything about this disease and were unable to help her. Another thing that was very surprising to me was the fact that Henry and Lelia once had a son. His name was Mitt and when he was seven he tragically died by being crushed by other children in a dog pile. Apparently Henry and Lelia loved their son very much and it seemed to me that he was the one who really held their family together and after he was gone everything started to fall apart for them.
