I chose this story because after I read the reviews I found that most of my classmates enjoyed the story and found it enlightening.
The review of Sarrah Fallaha impressed me because she described the story in the same way that I saw it .
"I like this story because it represents what the poor people feel and how they live in poor areas. Also how the wealthy people have an authority to make mischievous things to the weak persons" (Fallaha,2016).

I agree with Sarah discussion , because when i read the story I understood the same moral as Sarah did, i liked the story because "it is about the injustice suffered by the
poor, unlike the rich people." (danticat,2008).
He was still asleep the next morning when a dozen policemen with balaclava-covered faces, members of the special forces, knocked down the front gate of his parents’ house, climbed up to his room, blindfolded him, and dragged him out of bed. He was not allowed to change out of his pajamas, even as his mother wailed uncontrollably and his father shouted that a great injustice was taking place (Danticat, 2008)
