Well, I started reading this assignment thinking that it was going to be one of those long, boring stories that in the end has someone dying and that I would have just wasted my time reading such a long story. However, as I got into the story, it was really depressing reading about all those women and children living on the streets and having to beg. It was rather interesting seeing how the author described the lives of them and I felt really sad. But then reading the next part was just plain weird and creepy. Eating children for food?! First thoughts that came to mind was Hannibal Lector and cannibalism. That is just wrong and to make it worse, I was eating at the time I was reading this. Then he goes on about how the meat would be “delicious” and that the skin could be used to clothes such as gloves and shoes. That idea is totally insane. It would be horrible to be a kid living a life like that and constantly having to look out because someone could just take you and make you part of a four course meal. It is scary how such a crazy and inhumane idea could even be thought and actually written down in detail. But then at the very end, the author points out that he would never support this idea and that he would never think about doing something like this to his family. I was so relieved that this was all fake but also upset on how real the proposal of doing such a thing was and how much thought seemed to be put in it.
