The young girl has her own devices she would use for her “escape.” She would often use her grandmother as an escape from here staunch traditional family life. During the story she references how much she loved her Abulilta’s porch because she was “shielded by the vines of the chayote and I could get a good look at the people and car traffic on Evergreen without them knowing.” She uses this as a physical and literal escape from the rest of the world she doesn’t feel comfortable in. Lastly, in the last paragraph in the story which she is describing her grandmother dying and the moths are released. They become her vessel for her to escape with. She decides she “wanted to go where the moths we were, stay with her and plant chayotes whose vines would crawl up her fingers into the clouds.” She wants to be with the moths and her grandmother. She sees them as an escape again both physically and mentally. She assumes it would be much better with them then to stay and grow up without her grandmother and a family she is not comfortable
