entry 17

"Ekwefi had suffered a good deal in her life. She had borne ten children and nine had died in infancy, usually before the age of three."p.g.77

At first i was not going to use this quote but then the severity of it hit me. Poor Ekwefi she had lost nine children it must hurt to loose one, but nine in a row. I do not think i know anyone who would be able to live with that. This makes me realize how strong of a character Ekwefi is to live with that loss and endure.
