generations

another story about poverty and unequality, also the strong mistreats the poor and the weak. the setting of the story would probably be in the 1950s, where the law was still handled greatly by the landed and their henchmen can do whatever they want.

on the side of the family, how can kids grow up in such a violent environment. practically not knowing how to get by the next day. hidden truths and lies of deceit, covering the real view of how hard it was to live in those situations.

the author is basically trying to show how hard life was before and how it has not changed after 30-40 years have passed. on a personal stand point, it is very heroic of the author to write such novel. but if people are too poor to even know how to read then this story's goals of trying to let the people know about poverty are futile.

brutality is like a pimps hand, it slaps you right in the cheek and gives you how reality tastes like.

Another factor is, the pimp is like the ones with power and they will do anything to keep it

What we need is to change the system my friend! Plus, you're right about being so long ago and yet its alive!!!!
