Week 15 Reading Reflection

1) The part of this reading that stood out to me was the section about would be the story that the author of the article stated out with. I think I found it to be so surprising because it was a very shocking story in of itself. The fact that a gang attacked them was so insane to even read about.

2) This article was pretty straight forward, but there was one part that stumped me. The most confusing part was all of the things about microfinance. The concept of it is one that has a lot of details, so before reading everything very meticulously I was quite confused on what exactly it was and what its purpose was.

3)  I would ask the author of this article why they decided to take such basic things and conceptualize them into pyramid. I would also ask the author why he decided to create this article in the first place. I thought it was very personal and difficult to read, so I would like to know what his true purpose behind the piece is in his own words.

4) I don't think the author was necessarily wrong but just needs to be very careful about what is said. Beginning with the first sentence of the article there is a lot of mention of cultural and religious norms of a region- so it is very easy for things to be found offensive.
