EQ : what do we mean by evil?
In the story The Rwandan Girl who refused to die, Valentina was a victim of violence. This girl was only 13 years old, and had no one in her life. Her family was killed in a massacre.
The world Evil in the dictionary is defined as : "morally wrong or bad; immoral; wicked"
To do something that is not normal, and not done by others except the small amount of people that do, those people are considered evil. The fact that they are the only ones doing it, and it is not a regular thing to do, is definitely NOT right in humanity.
"if they found someone alive they would smash their heads with stones. I saw them take little children and smash their heads together until they were dead."
To be able to take a child's/children's life/lives, and doing it with your own two hands, is not something to be proud of. You must put your selves in the shoes of a 13 year old little girl, or in her family, or even parents' shoes. If you cant do that, and cant understand the pain that these children are suffering, then you are an evil cold hearted person. If you cant feel what they feel, then you will continue to do it because no feeling or sympathy will stop you from doing it.
You can already visualize Valentina's wounds on her head and her cut off arm. The author explained it very well in detail, to make sure that the readers understand, and are put in Valentina's shoes for the very few minutes they are reading this story. Whether its for 1 min or 10 mins, aslong as you feel sympathy for this girl, you know what she feels and where shes coming from; this helps you understand more and make sure that you would never do that because you yourself would never want to go through that.
