I awaken in the middle of the night‚ and the significance of my actions just hours before hit me full force‚ though it feels like a lifetime ago that it happened.

FIRST THEY KILLED MY FATHER -2 How many of us have ever experienced sorrow‚ true starvation and death; all by the age of nine? Is it even possible for us to comprehend the intensity of those emotions if we haven’t yet experienced them ourselves? Probably not. Yet this is the task Loung Ung had set upon. I believe she succeeded in providing us at least a ghost of those emotions by providing us an honest portrayal of the events that took place‚ not barring any explicit details. This aspect
