OR Blog #31: Today, I read an article from BBC.com called "Teenage girl dies in sledge crash". This article shows someone overcoming a struggle and facing a difficulty because the family and friends of the girl who died had to face a very tough situation. It was a tragic accident and that is definitely considered "facing a difficulty". This relates to Nectar in a Sieve  because Rukmani loses two of her sons and the teenage girl's parents had to deal with a similar situation. Rukmani's family has had to deal with many struggles like starvation, not having enough money, marrying her daughter off, and keeping her whole family in good health. That's why I picked that article because I thought it related well to the book we were reading in class. This is my post for this Wednesday.
