Analyse af 'They sold my sister'

My sister’s husband keeps quiet and his father walks away mumbling something

I did not get. As soon as he goes, Ole Sirayo uses all his muscle to lift my sister

out of bed and carries her to his bed. I cover my head not to see what is happening.

The following morning, I tell my sister that I must go away. She weeps bitterly.

She holds me to her bosom and I let her hot tears flow on to my head. Tears run down my face. When both of us have no more tears to shed, she tells me yes. I can go.

She says she does not want to see me suffer. I know she does not want me to see her suffer.

Naliki is a 12-year-old girl from Kenya, Africa. When the episode from her story took place, she was only 10 years old. Naliki is good girls, she does not do anything wrong. She wants to finish school, not to get married. She wants to be the first Maasai girl, “to read to the last stage of reading”, as she says herself. In my opinion, it seems like she is afraid of her father. She is a smart girl. She knows that her dad will not let her finish school. She knows that he will sell her, to a man who wants her as his wife, no matter the age difference. She is really fragile. Her parents, does not seem sweet, understanding or loving. She has been hit by her mom, because she did not answer properly, when her mom asked her something. Naliki does not have a say, in any decisions at home.
