1) What was the biggest surprise for you in the reading? In other words, what did you read that stood out the most as different from your expectations?
-I was surprised most about the part about how they only extend the loans to women. In these cultures it is to my knowledge that they are very patriarchal in nature and that is the main reason it surprises me so much. you would think they would extend them to the head of the household but i guess not.

2) Identify at least one part of the reading that was confusing to you.
Nothing was confusing in this reading to me to be honest. The only thing that I had to read over again was the part concerning the function of the loans themselves. Other than that, this was a very interesting read.
3) If you were able to ask two questions to the author, what would you ask? Why?
-My first question is "Why did you pick this setting to discuss and not a more developed place? and second, "Would you change anything about your study if you were to do it again?" Because I would be curious to know if he say any pitfalls in his research.

4) Was there anything you think the author was wrong about? Where do you disagree with what she or he said? How?
I didn't see anything that the author was wrong about. The only wrong i see in this was that the loans were rather sexist in nature and that seemed strange considering current world social norms.
