The vignette Hairs made the strongest impression on me. It tells us how even though they are a family and are blood-related everyone still has different hair. As an east Asian no one actually knows that we also have different textured hair. Everyone just assumes we all have straight black hair which is not actually true. The stereotypes people have for different races are not okay and very prejudical. For example I have wavy hair so having a vignette that explains everyone in the family has different hair even if they are closely related speaks to me. It also shows how much the mother loves them and the family and does alot and how the mother’s hair reminds them of baked bread a homely smell and feeling. The calm sound of rain and snoring creates this blissful setting for the entire vignette and you can just picture the setting.
