Chapter 1

I thought the first chapter was very interesting in how they went about punishing a prostitute. Stoning someone to death is never really heard of anymore. If anything you would think that they would just send her to jail. This just shows how different other countries are from America. Prostitution is a common thing in some cities in the United States. However with their religion, that would be a sin against Allah. I just couldn't even imagine being half burried and stoned to death. That seriosly has to be one of the worst ways to die. The whole situation sounds kind of shady though because they took her out into the middle of no where and only bums and hobos were present. It said there were crowds of people but it sounded like people who wouldn't have much say in what went on.
