Joana Martinez Elizabeth Saur English 99 September 24‚ 2012 Response to ‘City out of Breath” From the very first line in which author Ken Chen begins his essay made me anticipate some sort of hike that they would be going on or a mission of some sort. “So all night‚ we only walk in one direction: up” Could it be that they are escaping from somewhere? Are they on a vacation? Further into the reading I realized that they are in the city of Hong Kong and that he and his father are being led through

Our beds were made of concrete‚ we went to bed in pain and woke up in pain and that was my life for about 7 months.
