Week 5 Discussion Question

In the chapter "Scars" (pages 174-177) we learn about a ritual from Sudan that symbolizes becoming a man in Kek's tribe. Why do you think Kek is so upset that he "will never have the gaar?" Ganwar tells him the scars mean nothing in America, but Kek is still very upset. Kek also tells Ganwar he doesn't think he has shown himself to be brave, Ganwar disagrees. Do you think Kek has shown bravery, yes or no? Explain your thinking. Use examples from the story to support your answer.

Make sure to answer the question in a RAD response and use details from the text to support your answer. Please check your conventions before you submit and type it in your blogging doc first.
