The Clan of the One-Breasted Woman
I enjoyed this reading a lot more than the other ones so far. I thought that it was one of the better ones because it was modern and easy to understand. I have heard about the bomb testings before and that they have caused cancer. I liked how this was a first hand experience of what happened to a particular family in that time. The part I didn't quite follow was the last dream about the women walking through the town and the desert. I thought that part was a little strange. I did however enjoy the beginning of this reading. I think that the bomb testing was wrong to do in the first place. They should have tested somewhere they knew no one would be. It was wrong of the government to test there when they knew that there would be harmful side effects. Their actions cost the lives of many people and many generations. If I lived there I would want to take action against the government because they had basically sentenced some of the people living there a death wish.

I also liked how it was a modern read compared to our past readings because I felt that it was easier to understand. The dream about the women walking around also confused me quite a bit.
