TFA Chapter 10
Chapter 10 kind of confused me, i won't lie. It seemed like it was kind of a random topic. The chapter starts out with a ceremonial gathering that the village is holding. There is something mentioned about a "secret house" that only men can be in, which is stupid. Once again, women aren't treated equally. Then it talks about a husband and wife. The wife has 3 bothers. The brothers then beat the wife and take her children, but the brother accuses the husband of beating her. Then it is said if she decides to return to her husband his genitals will be cut off, which is really gross. I didn't really like hearing about this part. I kind of thought this chapter was boring. I didn't really understand the whole point of putting it into the book. Maybe it was essential and I just didn't really pay attention? I'm not sure.

I agree this chapter was very random and has no real purpose to the book except maybe for us to see the cultural difference in settling things. It really reminded me of like a court room and the spirit thing was like the judge and all.
maybe its a guy thing, but i thought the chapter was pretty good. anyway, castration is a very definite threat to a man, not just groos but scary. I tink a lot of the weird things can be put down to cultural differences. I personally thought this was about the best chapter so far, i wonder how they did the rattling stick.
