THETIA KESTLE

For the past two days, I kept thinking about the conversation I had had with Keith. I respected his opinion on peasantry, but it frustrated me that he was so closed-minded and didn't even try to put himself in his people's shoes. When he said that most people in this world felt the same way, I wondered if my family was a part of it; I hoped with all my heart that they were not. I hesitated to ask them, I was afraid they would find me strange. But keeping my doubts to myself was not the way to get answers.

- "Is it true that most people think that peasantry is an underclass, that we can control at our ease?"

My whole family stopped eating and looked at me surprised by my question. At the same time, I don't think a five-year-old child would ask this kind of question, especially during a meal.
