But he did at the end.]]> 2021-06-16 12:54:35 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/21hp307xpehmxnip/wish/1609875359 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/21hp307xpehmxnip/wish/1609879690 2021-06-16 12:56:40 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/21hp307xpehmxnip/wish/1609879690 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/21hp307xpehmxnip/wish/1609881423 One thing I did well was that I was the one in the way that asked the most questions, and I tried to make everyone talk in our group. But next time I should have not been procrastinating a lot and not leaving everything to do last minute.]]> 2021-06-16 12:57:29 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/21hp307xpehmxnip/wish/1609881423 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/21hp307xpehmxnip/wish/1609883790 I think that it was helpful to split the book up into what we would read each week, although I think we could have used more time to read since some sections were longer than others.

And I could relate to that because I actually got that before when I was in Guatemala and I guess since we were both in foreign lands, our bodies aren't used to the new diseases. ]]> 2021-06-16 12:59:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/21hp307xpehmxnip/wish/1609885852 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/21hp307xpehmxnip/wish/1609910736 2021-06-16 13:11:04 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/21hp307xpehmxnip/wish/1609910736 bryan_pan https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/21hp307xpehmxnip/wish/1609915200 During independently reading and preparing for discussions, I did well answering questions not really preparing discussions.

I can relate to  this during my childhood when I thought that my mother was being taken away from me by my sister.]]> 2021-06-16 13:14:22 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/21hp307xpehmxnip/wish/1609919179 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/21hp307xpehmxnip/wish/1609926676 I need to work on not procrastinating and also thinking of and answering discussion questions.

For instance if you had PTSD from dogs it wouldn't too harsh compared to someone with PTSD from the war. I feel like you would be able to recover from that PTSD easier than the war PTSD. Also if you have gotten some "miracle" from whatever religion you believe in maybe you would recover from your PTSD.]]> 2021-06-16 13:23:38 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/21hp307xpehmxnip/wish/1609942069 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/21hp307xpehmxnip/wish/1609943782 I was surprised by how quickly Louie was able to forgive all the guards who had caused him to struggle in Japan.]]> 2021-06-16 13:24:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/21hp307xpehmxnip/wish/1609943782 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/21hp307xpehmxnip/wish/1609945650 I think it would vary from person to person because some people might believe in a religion while others don't. I also think even if you believe in a religion it won't always help you overcome such things as PTSD. ]]> 2021-06-16 13:25:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/21hp307xpehmxnip/wish/1609945650 bryan_pan https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/21hp307xpehmxnip/wish/1609951627 One theme in the end of the book was ]]> 2021-06-16 13:26:57 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/21hp307xpehmxnip/wish/1609951627 https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/21hp307xpehmxnip/wish/1609951910 I learned that forgiving others is an important step to overcoming problems you may have. Without forgiving others you might be holding onto something that is hurting you, and you need to get rid of that.]]> 2021-06-16 13:27:00 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/21hp307xpehmxnip/wish/1609951910 sophia_madzy https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/21hp307xpehmxnip/wish/1610008180 I think that the biggest con is that the novel was started a little late and we had work very close to the end of the year. The pro was that we got to read a second book this year. ]]> 2021-06-16 13:49:06 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/21hp307xpehmxnip/wish/1610008180 sophia_madzy https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/21hp307xpehmxnip/wish/1610012542 One thing I could improve for next year was make sure I read the whole section. Sometimes I didnt get to finish the section, but I had read enough to be able to do the discussion. I think one thing I did strongly was take good notes and took my time reading to make sure I fully understood the book. ]]> 2021-06-16 13:50:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/21hp307xpehmxnip/wish/1610012542 sophia_madzy https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/21hp307xpehmxnip/wish/1610017859 I think that it depends how religious you are. Some people may claim that their god healed them when in reality they just got over it and some people may never recover from PTSD. The serverity of their PTSD could also play a factor in this because although all prisoners had a similar experience, they all went through things individually.]]> 2021-06-16 13:52:54 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/21hp307xpehmxnip/wish/1610017859 sophia_madzy https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/21hp307xpehmxnip/wish/1610023430 Why do you think the Bird chose to commit suicide?

We saw that Louie forgave all the guards for the things they did and still showed kindness towards them. This shows that if Louie can forgive them, we all can do the same even if it isnt easy.]]> 2021-06-16 16:48:08 UTC https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/21hp307xpehmxnip/wish/1610413839 dylynne_tutino https://padlet.com/mconfroy1/21hp307xpehmxnip/wish/1611421202 The cons were that it took me a bit to actually get interested in the book.
