Blog Post 12

"That while four-fifths of the population of our Islands was swept out of existence by the vices introduced by foreigners, the ruling class clung to Christian morality, and gave its unvarying support and service to the work of saving and civilizing the masses?"
This quote is very strong.  There is so much passion within this line and a hint of anger.  The feeling of being deceived reins through this quote.  It is concise, but still so powerfully strikes the message of resentment that she has for the United States and their reforms placed upon her home.  These cutting lines throughout her story are what give the story so much feeling.
