The U.S government is less corrupt than other countries. In every country there’s people that try to fine loop holes and braves’ to get there way and we can’t stop it. The U.S government has done a great job in providing its citizens with a safe environment. In other countries such as Mexico the president bought his votes from the people he offered them money, grocery gift cards, and TV’s for their vote. We also see police men who stop people who ran a red light or crashed into a car for drunk driving and if they have enough money they can pay their way out of a ticket or jail. Here in the U.S we still don’t see that or hear about that because our government protect us and the checks and balances keep each party from getting too much power. In an ideal government people like to have a voice because not every person has the same life style or can pay the same tax amount.

Monique's father didn't have a choice when he killed his wife. The story clearly shows the reader how much he loved her and didn't want to kill her. Maman tells us in the story she knew her husband was going to kill her and both of them had decided on this. Right before Papa kills her Maman says" My husband you promised me."  Monique's father killed his wife to save his children. If he didn't the Hutus would have killed all of them. "If we kill your wife for you," the wizard says, "we must kill you. And your children too." Monique's father didn't have a way out he even pleaded so someone else could kill Maman "My people" he mumbles,"let another do it. Please." If any person would be put in that situation I don't consider it wrong because your not doing it willingly but forced for the life of your children.

     I know that killing another person is wrong. There are certain circumstances when it's less wrong. In this short story the Hutus wanted all the Tutsi dead with no exceptions or consideration in family. Monique's father had no other choose and was force to kill his wife in order to save the life of his children. This is when the "killing is wrong" rule is bent.

Artists should be able to write about other people' s situations, culture, race from there point of view. As artists they should have that freedom because they entertain us. We wouldn't tell an artists who paints a mural and another who  paints  fruit his wrong if thats what they were inspired to paint than they should paint it. I think its the same with writers Uwem Akpan writes his book from a point of view from children but his not a child the book is so well written that we don't realize his an adult writing these stories.

If Immaculee IIibagiza would agree because the most important thing is getting the word out about Rwanda genocied.I think it would hurt her to read these stories like "My Parents Bedroom"and remember everything she went though but she would agree the writer is doing a great job in writing about the Rewanda genocide.
