MAIDS

Normally you hire a maid they get the chores done and you pay them their wage,but when you begin to exploite them there is a thin difference between them being a maid and a slave. The other day I had to explain to a friend how having a maid works here and halfway into explaining I realised I was describing a slave. This made me remember a story that happened a long time ago,it happened to a little girl that lost her dad. We will call the girl Sarah. Sarah's father died when she turned eight,leaving her mom with over nine children to take care of. Sarah's mother struggled for months to raise her children alone,but it was a battle,a battle that in a few months it was clear she was loosing,she had to literally cry out for help.

She would say very little through out the day as they hawked together,laura didn't mind because she was no...

HABITS

There are some tasks or things we do mindlessly everyday. We do these things so often that they have become a part of our subconscious, things like opening your car door, lacing up your shoes, sitting on your favourite couch. They are easy,they take no mental effort at all,infact you can literally do them in your sleep but sadly sometimes mighty disasters can result from these things. Something similar happened in this story we are telling today. We will tell it exactly how a ten year old witnessed it. In this ten year old's description. My name is ronke, the daughter of a high ranked security official. We live in a highly populated barrack somewhere in the west. I have several siblings but they are so much older than I am and distant. My parents spend all their time at work,most times when the school bus drop me off at home I have no one to talk with,none of my older siblings spend time with me,I was really on my own until a kind neighbor moved in. A couple. The man ...
