Answer: The poem “1975: Year of the Cat”, is about a ten-year-old girl who has only known her hometown and is encouraged by her family to have hope in life, but restricted to stay home. The title of the novel "Inside Out & Back Again" suggests a desire to get out of a place, but being put back for some reason, having then a similar plot to the first poem.
Explanation: We can encounter several similarities with both stories. The poem “1975: Year of the Cat,” tells the story of a little girl being trapped in her house by the family and society rules. However, she is encouraged by her mother to have hope in life. On the other hand, the novel "Inside Out & Back Again" tells the story of a girl the same age, who is also very united to her family, but somehow forced to stay inside due to the horrible place they moved to. Although the plot is not told in the title of the novel, the reader can infer that a back and forth situation occurs.
