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?
Viola Easier to judge the others Patricia. I admire Tara for her achievements. Wasn’t easy at all , she manage not only to educate herself, but to success i…moreEasier to judge the others Patricia. I admire Tara for her achievements. Wasn’t easy at all , she manage not only to educate herself, but to success in many ways. You didn’t experience her life. At least try to understand.
And yes, this happens to this country and is very sad. I don’t know where you live, but open your mind and see the fakts. America is a great country, no doubt, however like it or not this is reality that has to be cured. I think you need some education for yourself , before calling this book disgusting (less)
