"Strong lungs, they would say of Abba. Strong lungs give him staying power. He's the one that always lasts."
-Page 114

This sentence caught my eye because it seemed almost a tad bit ominous. I think it may be the part that says "He's the one that always lasts," but I'm not sure. I do think that this says something about Abba and his strength in trying to keep his family together. I don't think he completely succeeded but he seems very strong and he keeps his composure even in hard times. I think that somehow, Abba seems to understand Nadira more than any other person in their family. He gave her the power to swim and somehow, it makes me think that it boosted her self-confidence.
