KriK Krak includes tons of stories that how are Haiti people living in America. They faced different problems. Night woman had to earn money for her son, so she worked hardly. What is lucky for them is they did not have any conflict. In Carloline’s wedding,mom and daughter held opposite oppinions  on wedding.

Night woman had a tough life,but in some way she was happy. She was happy to wait her son growing up. While she was working, she could see the hope. Like the thing what she is trying to get. She usually sit next to his son and just watched him sleeping. She must feel proud. Rasing her son up became her main goal in her life. All the thing she was doing is for his son. So we could say she was tired and she was happy too. She only had one enemy to face,which is this society. She attempted to get anything she could for her son. However,Day Woman and Carloline’s mom needed to worry about another thing called relationship between mom and daughter.

Thus Night Woman was lucky or her son have not grow up yet that could not make his own decision. In Caroline’s Wedding,what made mom so upset is she was going to marry with someone that is not from Haiti. For her mom’s age people,that is what can not be tolerated. They still kept a old tradition which is already abolished in their next generation. Their children like Carloline as an example,she did not consider if this man from Haiti. They only cared about a feeling. That is what parents so worry about. They felt faint about this kind of conflicts. They were strong that they could never give up making their lives better,but they really cannot calm down when their children did not understand them.

It is easy to see in these three stories(Night Woman,NewYork Day Woman and Carloline’s Wedding), Woman were somewhat not be respected. They did hard work. Day woman was already old,but nobody gave a seat for her. Since they were from Haiti,some people even discriminated them,which gave them too much pain.

I admired immigrant settler who had to carry a whole family with sweat and sometimes cannot be understood by their children.
