5A: Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes: Peace by Merryhill School https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a After reading about Sadako and her experience, what do you think peace means(what is your definition of peace?) Why is it so hard to achieve? What do you think a truly peaceful world would look like? en-us 2022-01-12 18:48:52 UTC 2025-10-31 22:30:25 UTC hello@padlet.com Stephan Zhao dd0aops542404 https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989270026 Personally, I think that peace means that there's no discrimination and everyone's just nice. It is very hard to achieve because we live in a world where people get sensitive easily. Maybe if people didn't get so sensitive easily, the situation would be better. A peaceful world would mean that there will be no conflicts between countries. Wars will not spark randomly as well. Hopefully every country would like each other and there would be no discrimination. ]]> 2022-01-12 23:31:28 UTC https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989270026 Samay .S https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989282919 I think that peace means to be yourself. There are so many people trying to be someone they are not and thats why it is so hard to achieve freedom because there is always something that will prevent peace. A peaceful world would be every thing it sounds like , people of all gender, races, and types will be together and will achieve things we have only dreamed of if only we could have peace.]]> 2022-01-12 23:48:38 UTC https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989282919 Peace to me means a happy, Joyous world, where you can relax. Peace is very hard to achieve because of all the ups and downs of our life, distracting us and making sure there is no time to relax. Someone's birthday, your dog's death, and you getting sick gives you no rest. We need at least one hour of the day for ourselves. It might be hard, but you can not keep doing stuff to please others. You have to do something for yourself. A real peaceful world would have countries getting along, and not having wars https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989327829 2022-01-13 00:40:32 UTC https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989327829 Prince Chen https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989339363   Peace means to stop fighting and to be nice to each other. Peace also means to end wars and to work together. Peace is hard to achieve because some people hate each other. Some people have opposite views or opinions. Also, people may not trust and accept each other. A truly peaceful world would have no wars and nations will work together. The world will work together to solve problems like world hunger, poverty, racism or another problem. The world will be able to cure cancer, and expand the boundaries of science and many more.]]> 2022-01-13 00:51:51 UTC https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989339363 Sayuj Iyer https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989350570 Peace to me means being satisfied with oneself. When someone says peace, I think of a zen place, meditating, relaxing, or in other words, tranquil. When I think of peace, I feel calm. I feel that it is hard to define and achieve, as people have different ways of being at peace according to their life experience. Even our symbols of peace around the world are different, but they all spread the same universal message. Like in Japan, it's a paper crane for others peace means just to have a good life. I think a peaceful world will be a world where people are understanding and nice to each other. Another way to achieve a peaceful life is to not force people to do things that they don’t want to do. 

I think it’s also difficult to achieve peace for all because we can conflict with each other’s objectives. We can set impossible goals for ourselves and refuse to be at peace till we achieve them. To find peace we have to make the mind quiet, and it is an internal process and for most people in this world that is difficult.

People hate africans for no reason. The africans were doing their own work, and people captured them and made them slaves. Honestly, the world would be a much better place with no discrimination. Sometimes, arguments can be triggered by a misunderstanding. People are blaming China because they think they started Covid. Maybe Covid came from somewhere else and settled in China. But those people did not even think about that. Also, just because some Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor doesn't mean all Japanese are evil. The US did not realize that and bombed Japan. But now they apologized and realized they had a misunderstanding .. Now, the US and Japanese live in peace together. If every person was like that, the world would be a better place.  Everyone would get along well. I wish if the world was like that.

No more fighting, violence and war. Peace really means hope, love, and friendship. Our world would be calm, nice, and friendly. We would also be agreeing with people. For example, we would be all agreeing about no violence. We would also be respecting each other. We would be all united as one world. Peace really is happiness, friendship, hope, and love. That is what peace really means.

To me peace means to care. To care about whats going on, to care about others, and to care about yourself. By caring about yourself I don't mean to be self centered, I mean to put yourself out there and have confidence. I mean to show what you stand for. Achieving peace might seem easy, but it really isn't. Peace is hard accomplish, that reason being desire. When you desire something peace will be broken.  Have you ever thought of how wars start? It' s mostly when people desire power. Peace is a belief where everybody is accepted. It's is where everybody is in harmony. If people can compromise than the world will be a better place. A peaceful world is when people listen to each other, let others stand for their own opinion, and loving/accepting everybody.]]> 2022-01-13 01:32:57 UTC https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989386875 Ryan RTyanMishra3 https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989388459 Sadako and thousand paper cranes is a sad story where a little girl is sick by a nuclear bomb that put radiation poisoning and tries to fold 1 thousand paper cranes to get healed by the god
But only gets to 644 paper cranes then dies in her sleep and a statue of her is honored on peace day the carnivil/festivil. The authors purpose is to tell you how wars are so bad and what it can lead to( world war 2 made Hiroshima suffer from the deadly disease called leukemia and Kenji spent his whole life with the disease and stayed in the hospital trying to get better 
And peace means to live calmly and gracefully and to accept people to have freedom]]> 2022-01-13 01:34:17 UTC https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989388459 Amaya Narayan https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989443127 Peace is a very good thing because we all will not get in to fights. Then we can be calm and relaxed. In the book Sadako and thousand paper cranes is a very sad story but it is a lot to think about. Some examples are about your heath and sickness. Like how Sadako  was going through with leukemia because of the atomic boom. That is why no one should stress out because you can die like that. With peace you can better life choses. Peace can make all of us better. Some stuff to do if you are stressed out. Calm down  take a dip breath and about it with someone. Peace is not war, fight and hate. We all do not what that in our life because it is not like that. Peace is love, like and enjoy your life.  ]]> 2022-01-13 02:19:00 UTC https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989443127 Anya Gote https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989444694 My definition of peace is caring about others. War can't be prevented, but even so, we can stop endangering people from getting sick, hurt, or killed. Peace doesn't mean there are no problems. There always will be, but very few. Peace is hard to achieve because there are so many arguments and feuds, yet very few solutions and compromises. A peaceful world would not be perfect. It would occasionally have outbursts and political problems, but all would be solved in a matter of days. No one would suffer as much as Sadako. There would have to be war, but it would be at places where no civilians would be living. ]]> 2022-01-13 02:20:19 UTC https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989444694 Aanya Thakkar https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989527702 Peace to me means that people aren't blaming each other or fighting about things that don't matter. There would be wars, and fights in a peaceful world, nobody can stop that, but people wouldn't be arguing about meaningless things that are not worth making somebody angry or sad about. A world that is peaceful would have people who care about each other, and are calm and relaxed. Peace is so hard to achieve, because everyone argues a lot about things that don't matter, and that can even start a war. If you argue about something that doesn't matter, and that argument turns into something big, like a war, you could hurt, or even kill many innocent people who had nothing to do with that argument. ]]> 2022-01-13 03:31:02 UTC https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989527702 Nishka Nepani https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989534355 I think that peace means to live freely and happily no matter what race you are, a world without any discrimination in it. Peace is something that is really hard to achieve because the decisions that some people make prevent them from coming even one step closer to achieving it. These decisions lead to war, harming people physically and mentally. A world with peace is a world where nobody fights eachother over something both sides want. Together we can achieve our dreams and turn them into goals]]> 2022-01-13 03:36:42 UTC https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989534355 Shivani Patel https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989543961 After reading Sadako and her experience, I think peace means no wars and everyone accepts others to be in their lives. It's hard to achieve peace because not everyone gets along. Everyone has disagreements and fights every now and then. Sometimes you HAVE to do what is needed to stop a war, but it does have an impact on many innocent people. A truly peaceful world would have to wars but maybe little fights. People wouldn't have to sacrifice hundreds, thousands, or even millions of lives. People would live with no worry of wars having to happen.]]> 2022-01-13 03:45:41 UTC https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989543961 Aarav https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989564845 Peace means being kind, being happy, and no wars or fights. It is hard to achieve because everyone wants power, and money.
A peaceful world would look like people helping eachother all the time, no one every fighting, no racism or no being mean.]]> 2022-01-13 04:03:56 UTC https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989564845 Aarini Shah https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989576859 After reading Sadako and her experience think that peace means that people listen to others instead of ignoring them. My definition of peace is that everyone gets along and is free. Peace would also be where everyone is equal and there are no people who are ordering people around. It's where homeless people would have homes and there would be less bullying. Peace is so hard to achieve because people are constantly fighting and there have been many wars and battles between countries so the countries couldn't have peace. It is also hard to achieve because many people are very greedy and want money instead of giving it to the people who really need. For me a truly peaceful world would be when humans are more polite with each other. Another way for there to be a peaceful world is when people are giving instead of taking.]]> 2022-01-13 04:14:28 UTC https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989576859 https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989588948 After I read about Sadako and her experience, I learned the message of peace. To me, I think peace means that no one hurts each other. Although, this is a very hard thing to achieve. There is almost 8 billion people in this world so not everyone can be kind to one another. There is also inequality in this. Most average people wont donate a single dollar to charity, because of their own financial problems. But, some people will harass others just because they are poor. And this happens daily. So, people harass others daily, and make fun of them. This is exactly why peace is so hard to achieve. But, if we did live in a peaceful world, there would be no wars, no violence, and everyone would be treated equally with respect

They are partly correct. But in depth what really is peace? Obviously everyone has different definitions. You can ask multiple people, but no definition would be the same, maybe close but not the same. My definition of peace is kindness. Kindness only moves one step at a time, but always will win out. I think pieces hard to achieve because everyone has a different definition of it. You might think just because there are no words right now there is peace. Well you are mistaken greatly. There is bullying, Asian hate, and other ways of mini wars in our world and around us. And because one person things piece is a different thing, that is why we go to war. In my opinion a truly peaceful world is the world or everyone even one person could be nice to another. And just buy one person being nice there will be an entire upper of kindness. “Kindness spreads like wildfire,” you might just have seen that a quote on a T-shirt, but it is true 100%. Just by one person being nice we can have an entire world of kindness.]]> 2022-01-13 05:04:22 UTC https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989629856 Alex Liu https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989642272 Peace means being happy, living freely, and no wars. Also, there must be no fighting. Absolutely no guns or knives. No more mafia gangs or assasins.  It is hard to get world peace because everyone wants power and to be rich. Some people fight over even the smallest of things. No one will calm down when they're angry. I think world peace is when every one nice to each other. They have calm happy, or normal attitudes.]]> 2022-01-13 05:15:54 UTC https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989642272 Emma Clarke https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989677058 After reading Sadako i think peace means that everybody feels safe. When war happens a lot of people die, and people worry whats going to happen to them. Even when i fight with my friends, i always have this sense that i'm going to lose that friend. Peace is really hard to achieve, because I feel that it's human to have your own opinion. When people rather think different or don't understand your opinion, people fight. It's really hard to compromise about your own opinion. I think world peace is where theres a balance. World peace is where there is a compromise. This is what I believe peace is and what it looks like. ]]> 2022-01-13 05:48:57 UTC https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989677058 Tanmay Kanumuri https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989687733 There are many definitions of peace but, I think peace means calmness and tranquility. It is hard to achieve because people always are busy and some most of the time people always argue back and forth. It is also hard to achieve peace because some people can't their emotions. People might end up being angry if they got something wrong or they might end up being sad for whatever reason. A peaceful world would end up with few wars, less innocent people being killed and more calmful minds. Even though it's a peaceful world there will be arguments and fights but, at least more people will be respecting each other. I honestly think a peaceful world would be way more liveable than today's world.]]> 2022-01-13 05:58:54 UTC https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989687733 Taylor Nguyen https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989691844 I finished reading Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes. After reading this book, I think that the word peace means friendly and non-violent. I feel that this is so difficult to have a peaceful world because everyone's mind is different. Therefore, everybody may not be friendly or non-violent. These may include bullies, assassins, robbers, and other people like them. I think a truly peaceful world would have zero violence, no mean people, no criminals, and everyone is kind and respectful to others. This is what a truly peaceful world would mean and look like.]]> 2022-01-13 06:02:40 UTC https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989691844 Ethan Yuan https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989701498

I think that peace means no violence and everyone's nice and happy, so you can chill. which means no wars and also weapons are not allowed. It is difficult to achieve this because people want power and disagreements can lead to arguments sometimes and arguments can lead to violence. There are multiple people who will fight over very tiny things. I think a truly peaceful world would be achieved when everybody is kind and happy, and no racism, fights, murders, and crimes happening. . made you look]]> 2022-01-13 06:11:18 UTC https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1989701498 Tanvi Rai https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1991755550 After reading sadako and the thousand paper cranes to me peace means that everyone is equal and that everyone excepts who is around them. Peace doesn’t mean that you have to stop wars, it can be something small like stopping arguments in your class or being nice to someone. Your kindness can make someone else be kind. Peace is hard to achieve because many people in the world don’t care about equality and peace. They only think about war and being mean to others. People are also constantly fighting. You don’t have to go out of your way to be kind to someone, you can just say hi or help them with something. ]]> 2022-01-14 05:57:35 UTC https://padlet.com/quinnletan1/sadakowrittenresponse5a/wish/1991755550
