Three distinct sets of buyers stood out to me. I will mention the old man, the couple, and the big family. All three were a particular stall that sold insect that could be eaten. The couple was first in line. A male and female both under 25 held hands as they made their purchase. The female was dressed in more western clothing. They were distinct because they were more affectionate towards each

During reconstruction, the meaning of freedom suited many different types of interpretation; the perception of freedom between former slaves and their slaves masters were very contradictory. To begin with, African-Americans had suffered severe abuse over those years of slavery, so to them, the meaning of freedom was basically a hope that in the future, they won’t experience all kind of punishment and exploration that they have been experienced so far.
