Witness

What becomes of a child who enters this world, and by the age
of five knows how the world works? This child knows the workings
of the government. She doesnt believe in the Easter bunny, Santa
Claus, the Stork, and flying like a bird. What will become of such a
child? What would their life be like? In Witness you will experience
such a child. Little girl at the tender age of five comes to realize her
mother cant read or write. As a result of this miscarriage of societys
punishment, little girl sets on a path to rectify societys mistake. She
teaches her mother to read and write. She comes to know just as
much as the mother knows about life, and yet in her mothers eyes
she remains her little girl, and her daughter is treated as such. To
the adults in society she was treated as an adult. Her mother joins
a religion that solidifies the fact that there is no Easter Bunny, there
is No Santa Claus, and the only things that can fl y are birds and
insects.
According to society these are healthy childhood fantasies. In
Witness the main character little girl comes to the realization a little
earlier than her fellow counterparts. Does she have a head start on
life, or is she missing out on one of lifes pleasures of being a child?
What will become of her?
