Chapter 9

While I was reading chapter 9, I was sort of astonished at how these farmers had to leave everything and I mean everything valuable to them behind. Photos, books, jewelry, family possessions, etc all had to be left behind either sold or burned. If I was in that situation, I don't know if I would be able to leave all my memories behind and burn them to ashes like they never existed in my life. Leaving the place you've always called "home" must of been really depressing to go through for the farmers in my opinion. It just isn't fair for people to go through those harsh situations to survive.
