GROUP TASKS!
1. What kind of a picture is painted of Haiti in the first story? What is life like there? How would you describe it? Give examples from the story to support your answer.
2. Is either of our main characters/journal writers really free? He is in a small boat on the open sea, while she must stay in her home away from the potential violence—does either have the freedom to do what they want? Is there anything they can do to change the situation?
