I was very surprised how this time of the history in Vietnam was very similar to Korea few decades ago. I am pretty amazed at how their culture was similar to ours and their relations to the family and societies like business maket and attenting their everyday. I think that this book First They Killed My Father would talk first more about the background of the country for further description. This conditions, poor and devastating, is under no control and the mood and the air for the revolutionary get excited and arouse. Narrator's father, irionically at the sides of the defenses would be the first victim in her family in order to fit her to the title.
The father seemed to have more control over his family than mother did, in a way that this is not a maternal societal, but rather paternal. Societies in the old days varietly talks about rebuilding and revolting against the treaties and amenities that the new governments had build up and the struggles are still going on today.
The revolutions are terrible thing if there is violence involved in it. This country Cambodia is where the few wealthy people can handle refrigerators. Well I can't imagine the life without the refrigerator and also the life of misery to loose my father or mother in the revolution or war.
I think Mirabal sister's In th Time of the Butterflies are well written as well as this book which describes her experience in details in the essay.
