Even while the air is awash with morse code brought about by nazi broadcasts, Maurie Laure reads the Nautalis and plays piano recordings for everyone to hear. Furthermore, even while Werner is on duty to monitor the airways for illegal broadcasts, he hears the recordings and does nothing but listen. Maurie Laure is blind as well. Lastly, Werner has a keen interest in radios, which allow for waves on the electromagnetic spectrum other than visible light to be experienced in other aspects of human experience. My first of three quotes that provide evidence for my thematic argument is "open your eyes and see what you can with them before they close forever". This relates to the theme because it deals with the perception (and absence of perception) of light and goodness such as that of the "light" produced by the two main characters. The second quote that backs up the theme I have proposed is "So how, children, does the brain, which lives without a spark of light, build a world for us full of light?". This relates to the theme because it, again, references the perception of light in the absence of it. Such as that of the two main characters in the midst of moral "darkness". My last quote which supports the theme is "really children, all of light is invisible". This references how there is an infinite amount of different wavelengths of light that we can't see, but are just as existent (for lack of a better word) as the light we see every day. ]]> 2018-08-27 19:32:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jacob_busby35/db43ulcv66uy/wish/275672853 jacob_busby35 https://padlet.com/jacob_busby35/db43ulcv66uy/wish/275685627 My father is someone truly amazing. He is a person of great kindness and depth, yet, he is not someone who is widely known at all. He is a bright light in the midst of societal crud. ]]> 2018-08-27 20:15:46 UTC https://padlet.com/jacob_busby35/db43ulcv66uy/wish/275685627 jacob_busby35 https://padlet.com/jacob_busby35/db43ulcv66uy/wish/275688022 Integrity is something that one can posses, but usually goes entirely unnoticed by other people. It is goodness produced by someone not for recognition, but because that is what is good. ]]> 2018-08-27 20:25:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jacob_busby35/db43ulcv66uy/wish/275688022 jacob_busby35 https://padlet.com/jacob_busby35/db43ulcv66uy/wish/275688925 Every day, so many people are loving and kind that you are not aware of; and yet, they elevate an individuals experience of being in huge ways. Furthermore, all of this kindness I am mentioning is done in the midst of many horrible things in society. ]]> 2018-08-27 20:29:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jacob_busby35/db43ulcv66uy/wish/275688925 jacob_busby35 https://padlet.com/jacob_busby35/db43ulcv66uy/wish/275690013 There are many people working very hard every day to reverse what we have done to the environment, not for personal gain, but for the betterment of the whole. The vast majority of people do not stop and consider what they are doing to the environment, let alone the people who clean up after them. ]]> 2018-08-27 20:34:34 UTC https://padlet.com/jacob_busby35/db43ulcv66uy/wish/275690013 jacob_busby35 https://padlet.com/jacob_busby35/db43ulcv66uy/wish/275690549 Nelson Mandela was a man who was willing to die for his country in war and bring about great political progress at a time of great turmoil and "darkness". ]]> 2018-08-27 20:36:55 UTC https://padlet.com/jacob_busby35/db43ulcv66uy/wish/275690549 jacob_busby35 https://padlet.com/jacob_busby35/db43ulcv66uy/wish/275701936 I was going through a really rough patch in my life, and he was the light in the midst of internal darkness. ]]> 2018-08-27 21:33:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jacob_busby35/db43ulcv66uy/wish/275701936 jacob_busby35 https://padlet.com/jacob_busby35/db43ulcv66uy/wish/275703085 When my sister was going through a really bad time in life, I gave her a figure from the movie inside out ot cheer her up. ]]> 2018-08-27 21:40:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jacob_busby35/db43ulcv66uy/wish/275703085 jacob_busby35 https://padlet.com/jacob_busby35/db43ulcv66uy/wish/275703883 When my dads friend got in a crash with his 5 year old daughter, they were both put on stretchers.
