Inside Out & Back Again Part 1, Chapter 2 Summary

Inside Out

  • Each year the narrator's mother gets advice from the I Ching fortuneteller, and this year the prediction is that their family will turn inside out.
  • The ten-year-old daydreams about what changes might take place, like maybe the patrolling soldiers will go away or the sirens will stop warning them all to hide, but she suspects the war will come closer, not go away.
