He soon realized it was wrong, and helped out the victim. He ignored it at first but then snapped to reality. Helping to victim instead of the oppressor.  I think that if you don't do the right thing it means you are ok with something being wrong. That's not okay, and there has to be some sense of justice.]]> 2020-11-06 14:31:53 UTC https://padlet.com/lgenesky/otntz0grk93ghw8p/wish/897672093 https://padlet.com/lgenesky/otntz0grk93ghw8p/wish/897672605 "wont be silenced"

I think this message is saying that staying silent implies that you don't care enough to step in and say something. I definitely believe this is true. If people had the courage to stand up and not stay silent, so many lives could be saved. I think this also applies to the characters in the novel, specifically Quinn, who remained silent at the beginning, but after realizing how staying silent was supporting the oppressor, he decided to stand up and say something.]]> 2020-11-06 14:32:10 UTC https://padlet.com/lgenesky/otntz0grk93ghw8p/wish/897673348 wpjenkins https://padlet.com/lgenesky/otntz0grk93ghw8p/wish/897675035 Won't be silenced" 
To me it means that the people are pretty much saying they will not just ignore this and let it go away and that they will protest and fight for the right thing. To the characters it might mean that they will not be quite about this and will do whatever it takes to be heard.]]> 2020-11-06 14:32:24 UTC https://padlet.com/lgenesky/otntz0grk93ghw8p/wish/897675035 https://padlet.com/lgenesky/otntz0grk93ghw8p/wish/897675725 Being neutral in the situation of injustice to me means that if you know something is wrong but don't do anything about it, you are just as bad as the oppressor. By not doing anything you have chosen that what the oppressor had done was ok, and not worthy of intervention. This relates to Quinn because even though he knew what happened to Rashad was wrong, he never spoke up about it. By not saying anything it was as if he was supporting Paul's actions and decisions.]]> 2020-11-06 14:32:34 UTC https://padlet.com/lgenesky/otntz0grk93ghw8p/wish/897675725 https://padlet.com/lgenesky/otntz0grk93ghw8p/wish/897676531 for "our silence is violence", i think it means that when you dont speak up when you see something wrong, no one will stop doing it. it will stay normalized and wont change and people will be allowed and able to get away with doing wrong. when people speak up about what rashad is going through theyre trying to ]]> 2020-11-06 14:32:45 UTC https://padlet.com/lgenesky/otntz0grk93ghw8p/wish/897676531 https://padlet.com/lgenesky/otntz0grk93ghw8p/wish/897677104 I think the message of the quote "If you are neutral in situation of injustice,...." is that in a situation of injustice if you choose to do nothing that is the same as siding with the oppressor. To me it means that doing nothing is the same as choosing the oppressors side of the argument. I think Quinn began to understand this after Jill began to explain it and then the message made him want to go through with protesting]]> 2020-11-06 14:32:54 UTC https://padlet.com/lgenesky/otntz0grk93ghw8p/wish/897677104 https://padlet.com/lgenesky/otntz0grk93ghw8p/wish/897677487 '' rashad is absent again''

I think it means don't be silent if you are in the situation or if you see something then this violence or problem will continue to happen which is doing as much damage as the oppressor. ]]> 2020-11-06 14:33:16 UTC https://padlet.com/lgenesky/otntz0grk93ghw8p/wish/897678574 https://padlet.com/lgenesky/otntz0grk93ghw8p/wish/897679522 "Our silence is another kind of violence"

I think it means that if you don't speak up and you keep your silence your doing as much damage but not physically more like mentally. Meaning no change will be made. this quote really represents Quinn because he's been struggling to stand up and do what's right. ]]> 2020-11-06 14:35:13 UTC https://padlet.com/lgenesky/otntz0grk93ghw8p/wish/897686509 https://padlet.com/lgenesky/otntz0grk93ghw8p/wish/897689232 "If you are neutral in situation of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor."

The message displayed here is that silence is oppression in and of itself. If you aren't choosing a side, you're choosing the side of the group who is making life worse for the oppressed.]]> 2020-11-06 14:35:52 UTC https://padlet.com/lgenesky/otntz0grk93ghw8p/wish/897689232 zcsmith1 https://padlet.com/lgenesky/otntz0grk93ghw8p/wish/897693400 'silence is aniother kind of violence' If you stand bye and watch evil and you can stop it without causing harm to yourself you are in the wrong .]]> 2020-11-06 14:36:53 UTC https://padlet.com/lgenesky/otntz0grk93ghw8p/wish/897693400 https://padlet.com/lgenesky/otntz0grk93ghw8p/wish/897694115 The meaning behind "If you are neutral in situation of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor."  is that if you stay quiet and don't speak out people are going to automatically assume, because you're hesitant, that your on the side of the oppressor. To the characters this quote is shot directly at Quinn because for the longest he was keeping a statement that needed to be shared which makes him look sus to everyone else. ]]> 2020-11-06 14:37:04 UTC https://padlet.com/lgenesky/otntz0grk93ghw8p/wish/897694115
