The Impact of Fundamentalism on Human Rights

FUNDAMENTALIST-someone who follows
religious laws very strictly.
FUNDAMENTALISM-the practice of following
religious laws very strictly

I believe that the rule that states, that "females may not study at schools,universities, or any other educational institution" is the most oppresive because I believe we all deserve an education. All women should pursue their dreams if education is one of them.

I believe that the rule that states, "no burying of anyone who was killed by the Taliban. Bodies must remain in the streets as examples to other wrongdoers" is most oppressive. I believe this because it is very traumatic to see a dead body lying in the floor. Especially for children to have to see that everyday.

The Kite Runner

I am reading the book The Kite Runner and I am half way through the book. So far I like the book. It is a book that contains different main ideas. It talks about love, guilt, wealth, rape, loyalty and many more themes. It takes place in Kabul in Afghanistan. My favorite character so far is Soraya because she reminds me of myself. She loves Amir so much and his father, Baba as well. She cares for him when he is almost dying. It is a really sad story that will bring tears to your eyes.

We had our book discussion for the first half of the book and I enjoyed it more than any other discussion. I enjoyed the exercises we made it made the discussion really fun.
