Short Story 'No Name Women'

PART I:
+ The short story, “No Name Women”, was shocking, horrifying, and almost unfathomable for me. I cannot imagine any person, much less a community, that would punish a family in such an inhumane manner as the raid described in the story. I am amazed by the dramatic differences that time and culture impose upon attitudes toward adultery. I found the rituals performed during this raid to be interesting. For example, the woman who waived the broom in the air to release spirits. I am curious about the strong, beliefs shared by this Chinese culture. I was surprised that the villagers blessed themselves with sugar and oranges as they returned to their homes following the raid. Obviously they felt no guilt from their actions,
