Chapter 3 Reflection

After reading Chapter Three of Mountains Beyond Mountains something in particular struck me. The children in Haiti suffer as much as the people do. Most of the time in America when there are beggars they are adults, but even in Haiti there are kids who are digging out roads and hoping for some kind of reward. Both beggars and children alike were out looking for money while here in America many children are well off. Our country is fortunate enough to have children who can go get an education and even have food. At the end of the chapter the quote ,"Only in Haiti would a child cry she's hungry during a spinal tap." It really just goes to show how unfortunate things are in Haiti and made me reflect on how my life is compared to theirs.
