"My name is Yüksel, but everyone here calls me Lo. The foreman gave me this name. At first, it annoyed me, but now I kind of like it. I think it sounds like a hero's name: Lo. I tried telling them my name was Yüksel a few times, but it didn't work. 'Grab that sack over there and bring it, Lo.' 'My name is Yüksel.' 'What are you saying, Lo?' 'I'm saying my name isn't Lo.' 'Bring the sack, Lo.' It went exactly like that. I say Yüksel, they say Lo. Let them. I like my new name now anyway."

"I love my mom, my dad, our tent, the fields we work in, and the other people in the tents too. I just don't get along very well with the foreman. Because everything happened because of him. Right when I was about to go to school, the foreman showed up. I will start my story from that day..."
