Patricia Barry asked this question about Educated:

This book is disgusting to me. I do not understand why an educated and worldly individual would have difficulty understanding the horrible and violent upbringing that she experienced. It is unbelievable to me that she could not understand the violent situation, yet uneducated upbringing she endured. I have completely misunderstood her manner of education in a life in our country, in this country, how is this possible?

I think you might want to "educate" yourself further on how many people in the United States or the rest of the world, for that matter, do not always have the opportunities that you had growing up. And you may want to reread this book as well...(less)
