Chapter Twelve -- Blog Post 13

This chapter was sad and frustrating. I didn't realize there were so many issues, you always think that there are problems but having them defined was good but also hard to hear. One of the hardest things was learning about 'bride burnings'. I HAD NO IDEA. It was crazy, I've heard about some awful things like being dragged through the streets and this thing where if women lose their virtue they are locked in a pitch black room and only fed through a slit in the door until they go insane from the lack of human contact. Awful things still happen in the world but I didn't understand why people would leverage lives like that.
