Book Title: Memoirs of a Geisha
Pages Since Last Week: 979
Pages Since Semester: 1000
Weekly Summary: Sayuri visted the Tatsuyo building to visit her sister Satsu. Sayuri and her sister plan to run away together.
Weekly Thoughts: Reading about Sayuri and Satsu's helpless situation makes me think about all the poor children being used as sex slaves all over in Thailand. Slaves have been around since the earlier B.C. starting with the the Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans. These children in Thailand used as sex slaves are sold, traded, and held agasint their own will. This is just like Sayuri and Satsu being depressed into becoming a Geisha and a prostitute. The children in Thailand and all involuntary sex slaves need help. Currently the U.S. government is confronting and arresting the customers and releasing these poor sex slaves into better homes.

Liberty should not be something taken for granted. You should appreciate all the things that you have.

It is sad that there are people out there how use childeren as sex slaves and sell them to their own advantage. Slavery has been around for a very long time and you would think that it would have been outlawed through out the world but people just have no respect for the value of human life, especially childeren.
Sometimes plaing is always good but it really takes courage to go throught with it and i read this book and i know what happebs and its very intresting how they came together when yet they are so far apart.
