"I used to climb up on the knees of Paki, put my arms around his neck, kiss him, and he caressed me as a father would his child; while on the contrary, when I met my own parents, it was with perhaps more of interest, yet always with the demeanor I would have shown to any strangers who noticed me." -Chapter 1, Paragraph 4
I really enjoy reading that she put her arms around Paki's neck because it exemplifies her love that she has for him and the love that he reciprocates back to her. She is more than satisfied with her adopted parents because they love her so much and care for her. The fact that Paki caresses her as his own child is so beautifully pictured and, since I want to adopt one day, is how I will hopefully act around my adopted child.
