Ha in Inside Out and Back Again
The protagonist of the novel, Hà is a 10-twelvemonth-old Vietnamese girl. She lives with Mother and her 3 older brothers, Brother Quang, Blood brother Vū, and Brother Khôi, on the outskirts of Saigon in South Vietnam. She has never known her male parent, who has been missing in action since she was a infant. Hà is headstrong and finds her brothers extremely annoying. Notwithstanding, she adores Mother—Brother Khôi refers to her as "Female parent's tail." Female parent does her all-time to encourage Hà to non have her brothers' taunts seriously and to attempt to be well-behaved and accordingly feminine, only Hà struggles with this. On Tet (the lunar new year), for instance, Brother Quang is supposed to be the first to bless the house because he's the oldest male in the family unit, but Hà sneakily beats him to information technology. Hà is extremely fond of Vietnamese sweets and native fruits, particularly papaya. When Mother sends her to store in the market, Hà sneakily purchases a trivial scrap less of everything Mother asks for then she can afford a treat. At dwelling, Hà loves watching her honey papaya tree grow and produce fruit. Hà'due south family unit is forced to go out Vietnam to escape the budgeted Communist army, and Hà struggles with the move to suburban Alabama. Hà doesn't speak English language, which makes her experience "impaired" at her new school—even though she was amid the top of her class in Vietnam. To escape bullying, Hà hides in the bathroom during dejeuner and recess and refuses to look at anyone. Things start to go better for Hà when she meets her neighbor, MiSSSisss WaSShington, who begins tutoring Hà. MiSSSisss WaSShington helps Hà make friends (like Pem and SSsì-Ti-Vân), makes Hà bagged lunches, and steps in at school when the bullying intensifies. Hà also asks Brother Vū to teach her martial arts so she can fight back. But when Hà finally gets the opportunity to hurt her biggest bully, Pink Boy, she finds she doesn't like seeing him dislocated and afraid. Post-obit this, Hà confesses to Mother nearly purchasing sweets and blessing the firm before Brother Quan—but Mother assures Hà she'south done nada wrong and encourages her to run across that coming to Alabama was a lucky thing that happened to the family. The novel ends with Hà feeling more than secure in her identify in Alabama, in her family unit, and in her schooling.
