Chapter 12 - by Fabio Marchioro

And... surprise!! The chapter starts with a reference to... you guessed: Poh-Poh.
But at least Sek-Lung says on page 169: “I flung myself into life without her”. Good boy. Good for you!

Now is 1941. War and tension cover their lives.

Sek-Lung goes to school. Classmates, teacher and assignments.

Miss Doyle, the teacher, and her war analogies: she’s the general, the students are soldiers, and obedience is paramount.

On page 184, Choy introduces in that classroom of so many immigrants, the Canadian mosaic. It works.
