  • this was a very well done video, but you made her seem like she turned into something bad by ending it on a negative note. The book makes you feel sympathy for her even when she's a prostitute because she had reasons in becoming what she did and, at first, she didn't even know what she was doing.

  • The books makes me feel sympathy for her, but she could have still chosen a different job and stayed away from what she was doing. It is her responsbility to learn and see what is right from wrong. I did feel bad for her, because she grew up in a bad community.

  • Actually I am a female reader. I guess I do see your point. It would be really hard for her to become something else, but is it really worth it to feel power over men? I would think it would have been better if she just worked on some other different job. I am sure there were other jobs, not only prostitution.

  • In her case it was worth it to have power over a man. They (meaning men) already cut out her clitoris, made her marry a 60 year old man when she was 18, raped her (over 3 times (3 different men)), was used, beaten up, imprisoned by Bayoumi and many other things along the way. If all of that happened to me i would want power over a man! She gained riches and power in becoming a prostitute. She had no other choice unless she wanted to continue the path of being abused.

  • she makes many attempts to become something else, but continuously gets hurt in the process and realizes why it is better to be a prostitute rather than a married female. If you go to page 74 she has an entire monologue of why it is better to be a prostitute rather than a woman. she brings up very good points. Plus by becoming a prostitute, she finally gains power over men when they always had the power over her. I'm assuming you are a male reader.
