ok so i changed it. we had to write a journal entry about a chinese girl who has suffered from foot binding and how she feels about it?
does is sound like a journal entry? can i make it better in anyway?
This morning mother woke me up early. Earlier than usual. I had to go down to the town markets. I walked past a small village. Inside one of the houses I heard a young girl going through a familiar pain. Her screams broke my heart. It has been exactly 10 years since the day my mother first bound my feet. I remember the day like it was yesterday. The anguishing torture of that first week sits in the back of my mind everyday. I no longer ask mother why I had to endure such pain in the first place. I knew that it would ensure me a better life. All that agony and suffering was for my own good. I knew that it would one day, bring me to this day, my wedding day. I have found a rich husband and today I will marry him. I love mother and father but I promise never to force my children to have bound feet, nor would I do it again if I had the choice. I believe things will change, our culture and customs should rid children of this practice. Although today I will put on a brave face. I am lucky to marry a rich man, but things need to change.
