"A man who's warm can't understand a man who's freezing." - p. 110
Not only is this quote completely true, but it also causes the reader to think critically about it. While the prisoners have been freezing for months and still been forced to work beyond the point, some people such as Tsezar who have freedom of speech and is allowed to have warm clothes does not experience what the prisoners have gone through and therefor will never be able to understand it. This can also be seen in real life experiences such as the following: as much as we (the fortunate) feel bad for the people that have no homes and no food to eat, we will never understand what goes on in their heads or what they have to do to not die. We can't understand their lives because we don't live it.
I really liked the post you made, and how you chose carefullythe quote. That quote has a lot of meaning and how that quote is true. Good job
ReplyDeleteJulia,
ReplyDeleteI really liked your post. I liked how you focused it on one quote and you gave examples. When you mentioned how the fortunate can just imagine how the others feel really made me think. In the book, there are so many prisoners who are hungry and cold, but the people around who could help don't. Great post!!
