I really enjoyed this reading, although it was long. It held my interest much more than the other readings, especially the longer ones, because of its story-telling style. It is a completely enjoyable piece of literature, well written, and full of really interesting information. The story she tells about the orphanage in Romania was brutal. The graphic descriptions of the way these children were mistreated and their living situations were very unsettling. You didn't want to believe that a place like that actually exists. However at the same time, I felt myself being extremely curious as to what her photos were. I wanted to see some examples of the environment, of the children. I think it's sobering to hear what other countries are like, and how utterly different America is from them. Photojournalists are important to this enlightenment and I was glad to hear that the little orphanage got some press. All in all, I did enjoy this part of the book and it intrigues me to see what else the rest of the book might be like.
