The table

In the beginning they are fine with their life an have become accustomed to their style of life. When their life gets flipped up side down and are left with nothing everything changes. They flee and while on the run Mahad's loses her mother and brother. After many years of waiting for them they finally make it to America and are able to get set into their new life. Now they are doing things the American way and they way that Mahad had always pictured it. This is very good because it shows how you can go from having nothing and everything taken away to having what is considered the American dream life.
