Yes, it has finally happened, Aung San Suu Kyi has been freed from house arrest. She is free to talk about the rights of Burma (south east asia). Out of the 21 years, she has been let out 6 years early. I personally am thrilled that she has been freed. It is like Daedalus and Icarus. They got out of jail earlier than they were supposed to.
Aung San Suu Kyi has left a huge impression on many people. She is just like Hashim in the story 'The Blokes', a story about british bullies that won't except the refugees into their school. She is like him because he has found out how to escape the harsh words that the Blokes always say to him, like 'piggy' was one of his nicknames. Aung San Suu Kyi has physically escaped the house arrest.
She also reminds me of the story 'The Island' by Armin Greder is a really nice picture book but has a great moral. The island reminds me of Aung San Suu Kyi because the man that goes to the island is different than the ones that inhabit it. He is treated with no care and as a different speices, some people thinlk this is wrong but can't help much against the others. Aung San Suu Kyi has been treated different because she has decided that is important for the people in Burma to have rights, also many people stay on her side, though few still remain.
I still am worried about her. If she says one thing wrong, she can be put right back to house arrest. I know that I am not the only one that cares about this happening to her, but the big question is... Do you?
