The Clan of the One-Breasted Women

I definitely think this was my favorite reading we've done so far. It got the point across very quickly that you can't always trust your government and might question their choices. Its sad to think that our government didn't really care about the lives of the people living in Utah closest to the testing site for the atomic bomb. A majority of my dads side of the family is Mormon and they lived in Utah for awhile, so its sad to think that some of my own family could have been affected then. If I were there at the time I would be devastated losing so many family members to cancer when it was the governments fault. I like how in the end of the reading Terry ends up standing up for what she believes in by protesting.

  1. I went to school in Utah for two years and never knew about this stuff. Also my dad side is Mormon so I know about the culture and this reading was definitely interesting history lesson for me
