Thank you , That's all I have to write ?
Answered by Ms. Sue
You're welcome. I recommend you add more details about why she feels shame.

Answered by Ciara
She realizes that she does not really love her husband. ?
Answered by Ms. Sue
That's a small part of it. She's a rich white woman who has bought a lot of these hand carved wooden animals. And yet, in contrast, the impoverished African children are begging for pennies.
