Title: First They Killed my Father
Author: Loung Ung
Pages:57-77
Hours:1
1. This is terrible! I feel so sorry for this family. They are constantly moving from place to place and each one gets worst.The first one had very little food. The second one flooded so much that the water was a foot deep and now Ro Leap. Ro Leap is the worst camp out of all of them. Women are getting raped, Kim is getting beaten, Khouy had to get married in order to not get drafted into the army, and this "chief" made everyone follow stupid rules like: you have to call your father "poh." This book is making So Far From the Bamboo Grove look like a tea party.
2. I feel for poor Loung. She is beginning to understand that she is in a life threatening experience. That is something that a five year old girl should never go through. Sadly it's happening everyday. Loung is seeing her family torn apart, and hearing mother's cry out for their daughters, and also always hearing someone committed suicide. She trying to stay strong, but their is only enough courage that she can keep up for a girl her age. It's miracle that she survived all of this.
3. Why do you think Kim got fired for his job? Also who caused this to happen?

3.I think it was the sons of the chief that made Kim loose his job. As it said in the book they would hit Kim and maybe he hit them back and the sons told their father. And maybe the sons wanted to hit something and hit a vase or something and broke it and blamed it on Kim.
