The Genocide Reflection
When I went to the Holocaust museum and learned about the Holocaust and learned about the Genocide, I felt very heartbroken and it felt like nothing was left in me. When I learned about the Genocide, it taught me a great deal because I realized, and I have been realizing that this world is unfair. It has been unfair back then, and it is still unfair til this day. I perceive history now as a source or a guide for people to realize what has happened in the past decades and even centuries ago. People today just need to know what other people have gone through. I view history now as sometimes being negative and sometimes even positive. From this unit that I have been learning, I will take away the part when some people of the Holocaust Genocide were represented as survivors. I’m just so ecstatic to hear that there is small portion of survivors. From the novel Night, I will take away the awesome part where Elie Wiesel, who is of course the author of the book, survived the Holocaust. I will also take away when Elie Wiesel said that violence is not the answer (119). Elie Wiesel is absolutely right when he said violence is not the answer because people are just killing people for no reason. Why can’t we live without violence? From the movie Life is Beautiful, I will take the part when the son reunited with his mom at the end. I’m so glad he reunited with his mom because they were separated. But sadly he was no longer with his dad.

ReplyDeleteYou have written a well worded post. You get to the point that history is a guide, and in order to learn it, you must follow it even though it can be very challenging at times. A few things I would have to say about your post is to use more vocabulary in order to make your posts more formal and stand out more to the reader. Another thing I would say is to not use the same word in the sentence. This will help in making your posts reach out to the reader. Overall, you did a fantastic job of conveying to the reader what happened and what should never happen again. Great Job!
Hi Dylan!
ReplyDeleteThis was a great Final Post! I agree with you when you say that history is a guide. It leads us through the surface of everything that has happened, and then gives us the opportunity to dig deeper and find more information for the future. Everything that you chose to take away from this was well chosen, and I definitely support your question of why we can't live without violence. This was a wonderful post, and great job!
