The dance between the silent stone and the language stream is performed throughout Naomi's narrative in the text. Naomi experiences "water and stone dancing" in her dreams and in her life reality, but the barriers to reconciliation remain unless and until the silence is broken (Kogawa 1981, 247). Naomi was able to surmount the hidden barriers and move beyond her fragmented understanding to find a cohesive element "that joins water and stone, speech and silence, memory and forgetfulness in a ‘quiet ballet, soundless as breath' (Kogawa 1981, 296, as cited in Goellnict 1989, 297). Naomi comes to believe that silence does not always stand as a barrier to understanding and in this way is able to validate in her own mind the silence of her mother. With her mother dead, no prospect for communication between mother and children exists—except in the silence that remains (Goellnict 1989).

Poor persons have lesser options in comparison to others and gradually come to consider that committing criminal acts is the only solution they have in order to survive. From the perspective of organized crime leaders poor areas are thus perfect recruitment spots. There is a complex relationship between poverty and organized crime and by analyzing a series of organized crime communities from around the world one is likely to observe that many tend to focus on recruiting underprivileged individuals. The Mara Salvatrucha criminal organization has expanded throughout the American continent and it appears that borders are not necessarily an impediment when considering its presence in countries other than its home. It is currently present in a series of areas and on several continents, as it appears that the principles it promotes have influenced a great deal of individuals to express interest in joining the gang. While the organized crime group has initially been present in Los Angeles only, a number of deportations involving high-ranking officers and the fact that these respective individuals have taken the gang's name further made it possible for them to recruit individuals in a series of other areas.
