"Rachel found herself wishing that the week would never end- that her father could stay here forever- but knew he couldn't. If there was one thing she had learned in her brief time at Kalaupapa, was that all things end" (Brennert 130).
I drew this picture to sybolize that "all things end." Everyone that Rachel has been close to in her poor, short life had left her. It may not have been a choice but everyone she has ever gotten close to all left her. Her parents, and siblings, even her home. She has been moved around again and again without a choice. It's sad how at such a young age, Rachel has to know and deal with the pain of being alone. Rachel would crave a hug from her father, her best friend, and she couldn't get one because all her family life had to come to an end, just like everything else. Some people tend to get handed a bad hand and they just can't play the game as well as you wish you could. And Rachel got that bad hand and she's alone. She was forced to grow up too soon and there isn't anything she can do about it.
