it’s a snooze fest. Who cares about war? It’s all the the past, anyways.

That will never happen. Whatever, I got to get to class.
Violett’s Monologue
Violett
People have to calm down about this Remembrance Day garbage. What is “remembering” going to do anyway? And what is there to remember anyways? Like, it’s not like it’s going to happen again! People really have to understand that.

    At the beginning of his memoir, Beah illustrates how the civil war split many children, including himself, from their families causing affliction among them by showing how he and other children from his village were abandoned and forced to join the army—or even get captured by rebels. For example, Beah recalls the exact moments when the rebels attacked his village, “When the rebels finally came [into my village], I was cooking. The rice was done and the okra soup was almost ready when I heard a single gunshot that echoed through the town…My heart was beating faster than it ever had. Each gunshot seemed to cling to the beat of my heart…I thought about where my family was, whether I would be able to see them again, and wished that they were safe…

    They had to survive Africa’s harsh environment, which has plenty of lions, poisonous snakes, and enemy soldiers. They traveled over a hundred miles to Ethiopia, back to Sudan and then to Kenya. They had to remember all of their good times they had to keep that will to live; they also had to make the journey for the friends that they made, and for the ones that they lost. These kids were not the only people that experienced this, but rather plenty of people experienced this during the ongoing Sudanese civil war. This book truly showed the horrors of this war, or any war for that matter and the amount of determination you must have just to survive. This war has displaced many Sudanese people throughout the country. Soldiers would destroy people and their homes and forcing many from the lands that they called home. They had nowhere to go or to run to, so they just ran to safety. That is the reason they are referred as “The Lost Boys.” This war is very horrific and has many casualties; many of which were innocent people just trying to live their life. It could also be said that these series of tribal wars displace the trust of the Sudanese people, let alone the Africans. These wars pit each countryman versus fellow countryman, serving…

    And in this case, I really can’t imagine how awful it would be to live in this situation. To be sent to a camp where you are stuffed on a train with hundreds of thousands of people, and you don’t know what is going on. You are separated from your family, the only thing you know. You are put into a gas chamber along with millions of other kids who are too young to work for the German’s, and elderly people who are too old to work. To make it easier on the Germans’, they tell you and your family that is going to be used for forced labor that you’re going to take a shower, and you’ll be back later. But, they never, ever, get to see you again.…

    On September 11th 2001, the United States was attacked by terrorists who decided to try to crash 4 planes full of passengers into targets that they felt could cause the most damage to our country. The succeeded by crashing into Towers one and two of the World Trade center, the Pentagon, and a field in New Jersey. They killed over 3,000 people, mostly civilians, who had no chance to defend themselves. Now, one year later, there is question about whether or not this date should be made into a holiday or remain a day of remembrance. Although having a holiday to remember the lives lost in these tragic events may be justifiable, I think that it would be morbid to get a day off, a holiday, celebrating a momentous loss of life.…

    It took several of days for them to arrive. They was treated terrible like a lifeless soul. The people did not have no clue what was going on. They did not know why the Nazi’s was taking them, or where they were going. The journey was very harsh. A fifteen year old boy that survived had wrote, “Some 20 railway cars was waiting on us. . . There were 70 to 80 people in a car . . After a while there was muffled sound of closing latches...the whistle blew and train started moving slowly. It was April 7, 1943. Penned in and cramped, we departed from our homeland without being able to see it” (Jack). “The doors were shut, leaving us almost in darkness. The grills,too,were closed to prevent escaped. Air entered only through the cracks. So we travelled 24 hours, without food or water. We were hungry and thirsty. But the desire and hope to see our families made us forget everything else”…

    Our armed forces exist solely to ensure our nation is safe, so that each and every one of us can sleep soundly at night, knowing we have 'guardians at the gate.'” We must never forget the lives that were taken while protecting our country. Having the privilege to lay the wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown would touch me on a personal level. I have a great-great uncle who served in Vietnam. I remember hearing stories of how his mother and sister were worried sick that he wouldn’t make it home. Thankfully, he arrived home safely. On the other hand, somewhere there was a mother who will never know what happened to her son. A mother who never got to lay her little boy to rest. A wife that never got to grow old with her husband. Maybe even a little girl who was never able to have her daddy walk her down the aisle. Although the identities of these men are unknown, they all have a different story. I could never imagine what it would be like to never truly know what happened to your father, son, or brother. It brings tears to my eyes thinking about those families who faced that type of situation. If I were able to lay the wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, it would become my greatest responsibility. I would forever remember the day that I was able to honor those who fought for our…
