Reflection

     In chapter 11 of the book Mountains Beyond Mountains, by Tracy Kidder, I found it interesting how Haiti was being opressed by stonger, more influential forces, such as the Junta Government.  The Junta government severly injured various peoples' on seperate occasions, and made it nearly impossible for Haitians to live peacefully.  Also, the murder of Aristide had made it unsafe for Farmer to return to Haiti and ultimately led to disappointment across the country, since this was Haiti's only hope.  I think it's funny how in this poor and feeble place, the military still find a way to terrorize the country.  Instead of working and paving a way towards a better future, they always seem to figure out a way to bring danger and inequality amongst the people.  This isn't something that happens in the U.S. due to the government structure, but it's something to be thankful for and reflect upon when reading.
