4th Period by Carrie Boone https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a Responses to Unbroken en-us 2016-04-05 12:15:24 UTC 2016-04-06 18:06:10 UTC hello@padlet.com I woulf forgive them, because I'm a Christian and no matter what they did I would forgive them. It's not their fault in a way it's the people ahead of them, yes they did things that were uncalled for, but no matter what they would do to me I would stay strong and stick with my faith and after everything is over always forgive every person that did the things that they did. Forgiving will never make you forget but it will make you stronger and maybe someday make the other person stronger and also better.  cdboone1 https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104100315 2016-04-05 12:16:34 UTC https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104100315 If I was in Louis' position, I don't think I would meet with my captors and let them know that they're forgiven. I believe that it is not my place to forgive, but it is God's.  cdboone1 https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104100850 they tortured louis. not "god"]]> 2016-04-05 12:19:02 UTC https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104100850 I feel as thought at first, I'd be angry. I would not want to forgive someone who treated me so harshly. I would want the worst for them, honestly. But later I'd realize that everything happens for a reason and that the more you hate someone the more you're hurting yourself. Therefore if you are able to forgive them, you can forget everything and move on.  cdboone1 https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104101070 Very good point, I agree]]> 2016-04-05 12:19:57 UTC https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104101070 If I was in the position to forgive or pay revenge, I would choose to forgive my captors I would attempt to know all of my captors names and forgive them for everything.  cdboone1 https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104101418 2016-04-05 12:21:11 UTC https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104101418 I think what Louis did was good. What those people did to him was terrible. I hope I could do that I think you should. In order to move on you have to forgive and forget.  cdboone1 https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104101660 2016-04-05 12:22:11 UTC https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104101660 If I was in that position then I would need to forgive them because maybe they have to or have a need of you giving them forgiveness because of the bad they have done, i think that I would try to forgive.  cdboone1 https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104101867 2016-04-05 12:23:03 UTC https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104101867 I believe that if I was him, I could forgive them. It would take time and patience though to make me want to forgive. Of course it can be your job to forgive, but sometimes it's not because it's out of our reach to do.  cdboone1 https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104102125 2016-04-05 12:24:04 UTC https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104102125 You forgive not forget, you think that not forgiving will hurt the person, but it hurts you more. People forgive so they can move on with their life not an easy or short process but it's possible. cdboone1 https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104102377 2016-04-05 12:25:12 UTC https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104102377 I would forgive them, but not physically. In my own mind and heart is where my forgiveness would take place. Not deliberately maybe, but forgiveness to me is an innate action.  cdboone1 https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104102678 2016-04-05 12:26:27 UTC https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104102678 I believe in forgive but never forget. That would be very hard to do what he did, and I honestly don't know what I'd do.  cdboone1 https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104102818 2016-04-05 12:27:05 UTC https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104102818 Even thought how Louis was treated was awful, I would still forgive. He was only doing his job for his country. So forgive. Judgement is up to God.  cdboone1 https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104102908 2016-04-05 12:27:28 UTC https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104102908 I don't think I would make it an objective to forgive, but when someone is brainwashed and thinks they're doing the right thing, it's difficult for them to understand. I would be civil and talk to them about it.  cdboone1 https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104103066 2016-04-05 12:28:13 UTC https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104103066 I would try and be the better person and say I forgive you and then walk away.  cdboone1 https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104103339 that would probably be the best thing to do, but in such a sensitive situation it might not be possible, and most people would want to say more than just "i forgive you"

]]> 2016-04-05 12:29:23 UTC https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104103339 I don't think I would have returned to forgive the Japanese. After all the trouble they caused and all the pain they caused, they could not be forgiven in my eyes. I do not forgive easily so I wouldn't be able to forgive them at all.  cdboone1 https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104103757 2016-04-05 12:31:01 UTC https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104103757 It would be quite difficult to forgive something/ someone like that. There's a saying that goes, "forgive  and forget". In most cases, this saying can help release the resentment and hard feelings you may have, but tbh- I don't think it would help.  cdboone1 https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104103973 2016-04-05 12:31:53 UTC https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104103973 At a young age I have not had a father figure in my life. For so long I have held so much anger and hate for this man, that I don't even know. He clouded so much of my childhood with anger and trust issues. I've grown accustomed to building a wall and hiding my true self from people. People tend to know me as a happy person that'll make your day. At the age of 17, I still have some of these problems, but with the help of Jesus Christ and my best friend's family have found my happier/ peaceful self. I still have issues from time to time, but it's gotten better.  cdboone1 https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104104265 2016-04-05 12:33:08 UTC https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104104265 I believe that a higher power would end up punishing the person. I honestly don't think I could forgive someone doing that to. Especially realizing I didn't do anything to deserve to be mistreated. But, I also believe in certain situations, it would be better mentally to forgive, even if you can't forget.  cdboone1 https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104104793 2016-04-05 12:35:34 UTC https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104104793 If I was Louis, it would be extremely hard to forgive the Japanese captors that tortured him like they did but as said in the Bible, God has forgiven us for our sings so it is our job to forgive as well, even if they have done the worst thing humanly possible.  cdboone1 https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104105109 2016-04-05 12:36:58 UTC https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104105109 In a situation such as Louis's, I'm not sure if I could forgive a person who treated me so harshly for no apparent reason. I would hear his apology, but not sure if I would accept it right off or ever in that manner.  cdboone1 https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104105359 I agree mostly because I believe in the situation like he was in, he would need plenty of time to finally forgive him.]]> 2016-04-05 12:38:06 UTC https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104105359 I think that in his shoes, I would try to forgive. I think that it would definitely be hard to do, but in the end I feel like it would give peace of mind. I think that forgiveness is just the right thing to try, and do, even though what they did to him was horrible,  cdboone1 https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104105562 2016-04-05 12:38:59 UTC https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104105562 Personally, I know that I wouldn't be able to forgive the captors. Although I have a tremendous amount of respect for Louis that eh was able to do that. I would like to think that I could do the same thing, but I just know that I wouldn't.  cdboone1 https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104105779 2016-04-05 12:39:55 UTC https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104105779 I don;t know if I would be able to forgive them. I would feel so badly for what they did to me and to others, because I didn't have the power to stop them. I wouldn't be able to see them without flying into a rage. Eventually, I would slowly forget until I am reminded and remember the horror after that I could never forgive them.  cdboone1 https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104105978 2016-04-05 12:40:46 UTC https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104105978 It would be really hard, but I would forgive because not all people are bad. Some did it because they were forced. The biggest revenge sometimes is forgiving.  cdboone1 https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104106402 i agree!!

]]> 2016-04-05 12:42:19 UTC https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104106402 I think that if I was in that position. I would not be able to forgive. I would have gone back to Japan to show that I beat them after all I've been through.  cdboone1 https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104106513 2016-04-05 12:42:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104106513 https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104430477 I think forgiveness is something that takes time. I personally would forgive them because of the way i was brought up in my life. It is obviously going to be rough but i would forgive the people for what they did. How would you move on if you still had a hatred for it, you know?]]> 2016-04-06 17:50:54 UTC https://padlet.com/cdboone1/5azy1222n05a/wish/104430477
