In this essay the author Mimi Schwartz main point from my perspective was to illustrate the way she learned about her father. Through visiting his home village when she was thirteen. You see the little girl in the story was at that stage where teenage-parent relations seem like they were on two different plants. And she felt like her father always had something to say about everything usually referring to how he grow up. In most sections she just peeled the layers of her father apart like an onion. Just closing the gap of miscommunication with her father, this miracle was taking place while they were traveling to different places in her father's hometown village. as the time and places passed more pieces or the puzzle that used to be her father came to light. She started to see him in another in an alternate way.
Schwartz used history of a family to bridge the wedge between an American born Jew with her old world country father Jew.
