1. The first thing that I read was ABOUT THE AUTHOR: MEET LONUG UNG in the back of the book. The meet the author section pretty much covered what was in the book. However, I did learn some new things about Lonug. I didn't know that she was dyslexic with numbers, or that twenty of her family members were killed when Pot Pol was in power. Another thing that I didn't know was that her memoir was translated into eleven languages. It must be sad to think that everyday for the past twenty eight years she has missed her father and last saw him at age seven. I really grieve for Lonug, but I glad that she was able to publish her story and share it with the rest of the world.
2. I was really touched by the emotion and sadness in the letters to the author by the readers of , First They Killed My Father. I liked how one reader compared Lonug's father with her own father. For many readers it was as though Lonug's story was their story. In almost all the letters, the readers expressed horror at man's cruelty for each other. I am glad that in the end they understood that Lonug survived and had a happy ending.
3. If you write a letter to Loung wat would YOU write?

3. I would tell her that I'm so sorry for the things she's been through. I would also tell her that your not the only one who had to live through that terrible nightmare and that she should consider herself as one of the lucky ones because she lived unlike most of the others.
