I absolutely agree with Nicole. This story seemed really sad to me. As soon as the little girl got onto the horse drawn wagon, and she felt that sense of regret immediately, I couldn't help but be sad because I knew how much she regretted her decision, especially when her mom was so uncomfortable with the decision. But, I wondered where they were going in "the east"? And what school they were really going to? Like Nicole said, it all looked very shady and suspect to me. --Aqsa Z. | I absolutely agree with Nicole. This story seemed really sad to me.

| + | As I was reading Big Red Apples, I found myself telling the little girl "no you don't want to go with those men" knowing that she was either becoming enslaved or sold for sex. Why didn't these children listen to their parents? I guess because they were so young and impressionable it was easy to get the young kids to want to see the East and what kind of opportunities they were missing out on, when in all reality it was not somewhere they would want to end up. The Mother in Big Red Apples knew that there was something suspicious going on, but also thought that her daughter was going to get an "education" and not knowing that this may be the last time she may see her daughter.-- Pam P. | ||
