- Setting Analysis

This story take place in Haiti and in a boat. I think this author chose this setting because

she wanted to express her experience as a Haitian .

This story relate to the work as a whole because, without these peoples and all those problems in Haiti would not be a story.

-CHARACTER ANALYSIS PART 1

Who are the primary characters?The primary characters are the boy and the

girl.

Who are the secondary characters?The secondary character are Celianne,

Madame Roger, Father and Mother.

-CHARACTER ANALYSIS PART2

Choose 1 character and explain how they changed/grew throughout the story.

One important character that grew and changedthroughout the story was Celianne because, she

was rapedby 13 men then she got pregnant but, she didn’t

lose thehope of change her life to a better one by having

herbaby and trying to get a better life in other

country even when she treated to do that in a bad way

-THEME

I think the theme of this story is Social injustice because, the government do many injustice against the country. How the narrators tell us no just the government do social injustice, the people in their own country do injustice too like when Madame Roger went to find her son’s body and the army only give her the head and she waked throw all the Haitian capital with the head and some peoples making fun of it. Also because the raped that the army did with Celianne that marked her for the rest of her life.

-OPINION

In my opinion It was a interested and sad story because I learned a lots of things that I didn’t know that happen in Haiti even when story is only a fiction but I know that many of this things happen in Haiti. Also tell us how much we could be in love with someone even if you have to leave that person. This story was a little weird because, it never tell us the end or what happened then with the characters .
