My first thoughts on the book was that it was interesting, because I think that it’s interesting reading about a diffrent society and life of people that may be diffrent then your own . My connection to the book is is kind of simmalar to the chineese one -child policy which I have read about in a magazine. It allows two children in the family if the first child is a girl. A question that came into my mind about the story was that, What if you have two boys? or two girls? because in the story they mentioned that you could only have one girl and one boy?
