Today, Americans are still not as oblivious as we should be, but we have definitely become more aware of the conflicts surrounding us.

However, there was no mass murder, no extermination, and no denial. In order to be classified as a genocide, the event must have all of the things that were exploited from slavery. ]]> 2017-03-01 15:51:12 UTC https://padlet.com/madisens743/vi6nsxwwtvq1/wish/157061773 madisens743 https://padlet.com/madisens743/vi6nsxwwtvq1/wish/157063166 The italics make the story less reliable because she's telling it from a point of view that wasn't hers. ]]> 2017-03-01 15:54:31 UTC https://padlet.com/madisens743/vi6nsxwwtvq1/wish/157063166 madisens743 https://padlet.com/madisens743/vi6nsxwwtvq1/wish/157063714 Knowing is better than not knowing because if you don't know whether or not a loved one is still alive and can lead to aspirations of a better life for someone who could be dead. While knowing someone is dead gives a person closure, so they don't have uncontrollable aspirations. ]]> 2017-03-01 15:55:40 UTC https://padlet.com/madisens743/vi6nsxwwtvq1/wish/157063714 madisens743 https://padlet.com/madisens743/vi6nsxwwtvq1/wish/157064738 The Khemer Rouge let their families say "goodbye" before the killings. They also take the people away, out of sight, so they don't kill them in front of people and their families. Her family still tries to upkeep themselves (brush their hair and teeth). They still show that they love each other. ]]> 2017-03-01 15:58:12 UTC https://padlet.com/madisens743/vi6nsxwwtvq1/wish/157064738 madisens743 https://padlet.com/madisens743/vi6nsxwwtvq1/wish/157066316 The initial ideas were not bad, but the minute they started killing people, they switched from good ideas to bad people.  They wanted to alter a government that has been in place and wanted to stop technological advancements.

She is aware of what is happening, but she is still trusting more than she should. She is unaware of how what she is saying can negatively affect her family. She isn't thinking of consequences before she speaks. ]]> 2017-03-01 16:04:43 UTC https://padlet.com/madisens743/vi6nsxwwtvq1/wish/157067650 madisens743 https://padlet.com/madisens743/vi6nsxwwtvq1/wish/157068266 Instead of focusing on the impact of the genocide, the reader is more focused on how her father's death will affect her and her family. There is a feeling of will she ever escape, even if they keep moving. It was almost inevitable that she would lose the one person she looked up to the most because that's how it always seems to work out. Her father's death makes her even stronger than she was because instead of living for just herself, she's living for Pa as well. ]]> 2017-03-01 16:06:17 UTC https://padlet.com/madisens743/vi6nsxwwtvq1/wish/157068266
