The book included a bunch of symbolisms, mostly about people's perspectives. The boy who fell in a hole tried to ask others for help, but none of them tried to think in Mark’s perspective and sometimes just ignored Mark. But he eventually finds a dog and a homeless person who were also in dire situations, and with their moral support, he eventually breaks out of the hole. However, he could no longer hear the dog’s voice because he now had a different perspective that was represented by the height of his head. This book conveyed to me the importance of thinking in others’ shoes.

The war left cities devastated and people afraid of the “reds.” There were people with deformed faces, amputated arms and legs, and many other deformities. However, the lingering fear caused even more devastation. The Americans mass murdered multiple groups of people that had the hint of slight association with the “reds.” Not just Americans though, the South Koreans also held trials on who is “red” and killed all of them individually. It was an era of fear mongering, and this series of comic books opened my eyes to the injustices of war.

So this book always reminds me of the one person in the book that perfectly employs psychology in their day to day life, but I know it’s okay to not be like that. I won’t be able to perfectly digest what I learn, but at least I will learn something.

It provided a variety of techniques that could be used for faster calculation, and also proved the methods. This book nurtured my affinity for math, which is now my main/favorite subject.

I think I was right. I understood the overall flow of the book very well, while learning new things about the civil rights movement. This application of knowledge onto the book didn't just deepen my understanding of its contents, but also helped me connect to John Lewis more. ]]> 2023-09-14 02:23:31 UTC https://padlet.com/danhan25/93g1ktolin67orvb/wish/2703135726
