<>Week 6-Letter<>

Dear Ayaan,

I was astounded by the amount of violence that your mother and school teachers use to punish you. It is absolutely inhumane. Although teasing the little children and leaving them at the doors of others' homes as a practical joke is cruel, I don't think that being severely beaten by both your school master and your mother were fitting punishments of the crimes. It is difficult to understand why there does not seem to be any adults that truly care for children (unless they are male, but that generally does not make too much of a difference in the long run considering how your mother treats your brother!) and their well being. This is probably just a major difference in dominating cultures in religions, because if such a thing to even one tenth of the level that it happened to you, there would be lawsuits galore. Plus, adults have a lot more genuine care for the young, making sure that they are well taken care of. That is definitely something that I take for granted on a daily basis.
As for how much I am (or am not) enjoying the book, it is relatively tolerable. Give or take, really. Sometimes I wonder if you are legitimately upset about something or if you are just being a whiney complaining drama queen.
