I love this story because of the vulnerabilities, and the complexities of tourism and identity. We talked a lot about this book in class, and the story of Rigoberta. A giuiles person who traveled from Guatemala. I like her story because she learned spanish to break the barriers she was facing, and once again it’s another story related to anthropology and the study of cultures, and so i think this was a great book to read for our class. Similar to falling sky, menchu’s life is told through anthropology. i think being able to overcome adversity, in such a position such as herself is inspiring. Seeing her family members murdered, and evicted, the list goes on. She really had lived an eventful life since she was young. It must have been a nightmare losing everyone, and feeling alone like that. that’s why i appreciate this story because we all can feel alone like this, and it’s easy to get lost in feeling unhappy, not being humble and grateful or wishing we had different, but stories like these.. Help you fully understand that life is short, and things are not easy, and that it’s important to be grateful. it said she picked coffee all day, and it was hot outside, she would work all day, and then walk for water, and lived in crowded conditions. the tales in this book are sometimes hard to read, and with stories like these you can be more humble.
