Left To Tell Chapter 1-6

Immaculee had a perfect life style. Her parents seem like good parents that loved her and her three brothers, Aimable, Damascene, and Vianney. School was very important to Immaculee’s parents because they were teachers. I believe that it was good that Immaculee’s parents would make them study with each other in the afternoon because that brought the family together and also avoid the kids to be in the streets and become trouble makers. In Chapter 2, it upset me when Immaculee’s fourth grade teacher started calling ethnic roll call. Who does that to children? They are innocent! They should not be involve in adults problems because they will grow up, become bitter and think that being racist is fine. Another part that upsets me is when she got denied for the scholarship to a public high school for being Tutsi. This shows that the government influence people to discriminate the Tutsi and they wouldn’t have any rights. That’s really sad because Immaculee was really smart but the government didn’t care they just wanted Hutus to succeed. Immaculee’s father was not going to let his daughters dreams go down the drain, right away he went to sell two cows so she could go to a private school. This showed how education was very important to this family. That’s sad how there are countries that don’t let their citizens find success because they just want a curtain group of people to have power. While she was in high school she did a test that was for a scholarship to go to one of the best Universities in Rwanda but she thought she wasn’t going to be able to get in because she was Tutsi. It  surprised me that she was actually allowed to attend this school because she got accepted. It was something Immaculee wanted and that she deserved because she was great student.
