- I was going to jump in during class yesterday, but we ran out of time. My initial thought of the last chapters we read for class was heart wrenching and brutal. A quote that stuck out to me while reading was on page 182. It says, "Tibon leaned towards my left ear and whispered, I almost kill a Dominican boy when I'm ten. I see him coming along the road in front of the mill one day and I decided to beat him to make him say that even if he's living in a big house and I'm living in the mill, he's no better than me." This part of the story was disturbing to read, and Amabelle reacted the same way I would. She pulled her hand away from Tibon and looked away. Something about a child getting brutality abused makes my stomach turn. I understand that there was hatred for the dominicans, but beating a child to the point where he almost died was not the answer.
