Reflection of the Week

We watched a video in Ben's class called, "The War." In this video there is actual video footage of what occurred during WWII. I have always heard stories through teachers, family, and friends about the events that occurred in the war, both at home and out in battle. However, I have never seen anything myself. To tell you the truth, watching videos in school has trained my brain to not pay attention. However, with this video I found a great deal of interest in what was being displayed before me. When the topic of Jews in camps came up, I'd never seen, or known, how many people were put into bunks and rooms in these camps. It terrified me to see how starved and hurt these Jews had become.

In literature this past week we read a few plays. I really enjoyed. "The Children's Hour." At first, I wasn't too sure how I felt about this play. But after reading it and watching the film in class I found it can be viewed as an important piece for history. Not being straight was viewed upon as awful, and sinful, during this time ear that the play was set in. I never knew how much of an impact this had on people.
