Both these characters are cleverly depicted so that they are kind and amusing at the same time, and their absence is not missed. The conversations between the aunts and the sisters were designed to be one of a kind and extremely funny. However, these two don't seem to be cut out for the job, taking care of two girls seems to be a lot for these two. They are weighed down by the responsibility that comes with it, conjure up almost every frightful situation that they could about the circumstances they might face and end up running back to their comfortable lives in San Francisco, after luring a mysterious relative in the form of Aunt Sylvie who makes her entrance into the girls' lives and the novel. Aunt Sylvie has an unexplained vibe about her, for instance the stories that she has told the girls have all been related to or revolved around a bus or a train. In fact she is a transient, psychologically and sensitively un-wanting and untrained for the errands she has to take on. The character of Aunt Sylvie is what carries the rest of the novel; her influence on the girls is very evident throughout the remainder of the novel. She has been a traveler for long, not settling down and being independent in the face of the world. For this reason she has been kept away from her family and close friends. She has been 'riding the rails' from one place to another. Of course her character, too, is magnificently depicted in the author's expression with a calm and sympathetic side...
She is a question mark for all the people of Fingerbone, even the girls are clueless about who she really is.

Her idea of "housekeeping" shows signs as the novel proceeds, her old collection of things like tins and cans, magazines, etc., seem to become a part of the house. The leaves that are depicted to be heaped up in corners of the house are a memento for the reader of what for Sylvie is 'the essence of housekeeping'.

Imperialism is destructive to all but a select few persons in positions of financial and political power. Also, because female migration is often not coerced but undertaken by some degree of choice, the type of imperialism arising from the female labor force is subtle and generally overlooked by sociologists, economists, and policy makers. As a result, humanitarian issues can easily fall by the wayside. For example, the women who leave

Expression Profiling of a Novel Protein A new transcription unit was discovered while working with transfected murine BAC clones, because a novel spot appeared on a 2-dimensional protein gel. Through a process of expression subcloning from the BAC clone, the transcription unit that generated the novel peptide was located. This finding was back validated by sequencing the protein contained in the 2-D gel piece using N-terminal Edman degradation and mass spectroscopy
