Comparing to chapter one, chapter two seems to specifically talks about people who got abused from boarding school. This boarding school looks like a factories or even worser than factories. This boarding school was formalized under Grant's Peace Policy in 1869. Teenagers or students were kidnapped and were treated like animals. Most people who were sent to these places were not able to survive. Some die from a massive and tremendous amount of work and some die from hunger. Later it discuss about the project they were seeking for survivors from these boarding school.
After reading this chapter, I felt sorry for people who were treated so harsh and suffer from filthy and abnormal people. I cannot believe that these situation could happen and treat human begins like animal. Some people know that discrimination and racism should not continue however, it seems that it is hard for some people to keep their promise for not discriminating others. These people might need to think as a discriminated person which might provide a chance to think the feeling of people who suffered from discrimination and racism.
From reading chapter 2, the topic discrimination and racism reminded the stories that I read in All Our Relations and society in Middle Eastern countires. All Our Relations provided me a chance to understand the sorrow and pain of Native American. Moreover, I was also able to think the society in the Middle Eastern countires. For instance, living Egypt morethan two years, I was able to realize that the society in Egypt was totally different from my country, Korea. It seemed that in Egypt women had last opportunity to claim for their rights. Also, the social inequality could be shown from their upper and lower class in Egypt.
As a result, from reading chapter two I was able to realize another society in our world which reminded the reading, All Our Realtions and the society in the Middle Eastern countreis.
