Final answer:
Ha is the main character in the novel 'Inside Out & Back Again' and she is a young girl who flees from Vietnam to the United States during the Vietnam War. The chapter '1975: Year of the Cat' explores the metaphorical connections between the story of Cat and Mouse and Ha's experience as a refugee.
Step-by-step explanation:
From the novel, it is learned that Ha is a character in the story. Ha is the main character and narrator of the novel 'Inside Out & Back Again'. The novel tells the story of Ha, a young girl who flees from Vietnam to the United States during the Vietnam War.
In the chapter '1975: Year of the Cat', Ha compares her life in Vietnam to the story of Cat and Mouse in a book she reads. The 'Year of the Cat' metaphorically represents the year the Vietnam War ended and how it affects Ha's life as a refugee.
