Download or read book Sex Worker and Pig Struggle for Liberation written by Alpha Lamb and published by Alpha Lamb. This book was released on with total page 123 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This story is about two minorities struggling for liberation from human bondage. Sex Worker, better known as Prostitute, is often described as the world's oldest profession, or among the oldest. Sadly for herself if not for all others, she has been persecuted from pre-history ever since. She may have been tolerated as an exception, but never widely accepted. Does society owe her the obligation of rescue from fallen slavery, or should she be deterred from practising her trade by stiff punishment, in order to maintain the hygiene of the social fabric? What does she think, and does it matter what she thinks? The story begins with a girl forced into prostitution by destitution, until she fights back together with her fellow sister mates against inherent frustration, cruelty, and prejudice. Her argument is that she has an inalienable human right to dispose her body and sex, in private, in whichever way she desires, especially when such disposal is essential to earn a living. The imposition of public morality as her personal responsibility is what she cannot accept and endure. But it is more than that, since she is also in the other minority. She is a Pig, an itinerant animal dominated no shorter and no less by human civilization than what has been suffered by Prostitute.It is a moot point whether Prostitute or Animal has suffered more, or considered more despicable. Presumably Animal could have it easier since they are supposed to be of the lower order, with no intelligence whatsoever, until the relatively recent advent of animal right. Perhaps Animal should be grateful to human civilization for survival and multiplication too, whereas Prostitute can always be found in human survival. The story brings up the coincidence of Prostitute Struggle and Pig Struggle, initially each on its own, until reaching the stage when each finds the need to join force and cause, though a common front is anything but a smooth ride. The first public confrontation against the establishment, as can be expected, proves to serve not much more than a learning curve. However, the seed once buried and unburied would be allowed time and space to take root. Nourished non-stop by where they come from, the denizens of the joint struggle will not waver or lose hope for an eventual outcome. The author does not pretend to be entirely on their side morally. Take the story as a science fiction if you like. Whether it will come to pass is a matter of opinion.

Book excerpt: Near the village of Little Wicken, a baby girl is found abandoned in a field. Unwanted and unloved, the foundling grows up, existing on the grudging charity of the villagers. It is only when they notice her way with animals that the girl is given a permanent place—as a pig herder—and a name: Mokie, meaning “Little Pig Girl.” After a brutal attack by the village boys, fifteen-year-old Mokie flees with her beloved pig, Apple, into the heart of the mysterious Wickenwood. It is there that Mokie meets a trio of Gypsies, who take her under their wing. But she soon discovers that her new friends are more than they appear to be. Could they hold the key to her past. . .and her future? In her debut novel, Verlyn Flieger weaves elements from Celtic mythology into an unforgettable tale that explores universal truths about the human condition—society’s need for scapegoats, the yearning to belong, and love’s transcendent power to make the world anew. Thought-provoking, unflinching, and original, Pig Tale will break your heart, and utterly astonish you.
