Breach of Article 1- Abomination by Robert Swindells
Breach means not having followed it or broken it.
Article 01 - All human beings are born free and equal in dignity and rights. They are endowed with reason and conscience and should act towards one another in a spirit of brotherhood.
-means no one is born different from others- can't be born into slavery and kept in a cage.
-you have access to basic human rights- food, water, and shelter.
Martha- born into a religious cult, has basic rights but not personal freedom. Martha is treated like a slave by her parents. Not allowed friends because of the righteous. Not allowed radio.
Abomination/Jim- born and kept in a cage, not allowed outside. Has basic human rights. Lost rights to education, love, freedom, and socialization. Forbidden to see his mum.
Jim's trauma will lead him to not have a normal life.
Since Martha lived with her sister, she got new clothes and was granted freedom.
The story builds suspense.
We forgive Martha for keeping the secret about Jim because she is also suffering.
Martha is bullied in school and at home.
Martha to Scott
Abomination's a boy, Scott. A little boy. He lives in the cellar in a cage. Page 143
And she let her kid live in a cage?... She doesn't know! page 146
