Freckles

Today in class we did an exercise where we had to throw away 7 out of 8 cards that defined who we were. The last card that i had was my freckles. I kept this card because not everybody has freckles, and they do not run in my family. I had a hard time choosing which cards to throw out. If i actually had to deny parts of my life like my family or my religion, i would be very angry about it. In Nectar In A Sieve the characters are going to have to start denying their characteristics that make them who they are.
