analyze Bree Lafreniere’s Music Through the Dark. What do you think are the obvious and the subtle messages conveyed in this memoir set during the Khmer Rouge period in Cambodia? What does it

the genocide, emotional survival, friendship, mysticism, compassion, Communism, children and the Khmer Rouge, etc.) For a four-page paper, you will want to identify 3-5 cultural areas.
