Kim Decision
"Ma, we are starving to death. Many people are dying in the village. Yet the government trades our crops to buy guns ti kill more people." Shh... don't talk so loud. It is a crime to speak against the Angkar. If the soldiers hear you they will you away and kill you." "Ma, I am going to go and get us some corn tonight ." With a determined look, Kim has made his decision.

this shows that people dont have freedom of speech in cambodia. the mother tells her daughter that she cant even speak about how she eels about the government
ReplyDeleteThis part of the books shows that these people don't have much freedom of speech. She can't even say how she feels about the government and if what they're doing is right or wrong.
ReplyDeleteThis passage is just another example of how close Cambodia is to China. Just like China, it is a crime to speak agent your government. Their you give up your right to free speech.
