Book Discussion

I discussed my book with my friend Cassie and it went like this...
I described the story line to her and went over the tragic events that had happened to Sarah and her family. We discussed how horrific it must have been to be in her position, as well as all the millions of others families that had faced other similar experiences. We discussed how we were able to connect to the events and the characters. She explained to me how it made her sick to her stomach to think about the types of things that we complain about today, considering the tragedies and events that they faced back then during those times. She then proceeded to tell me about how scary it is that while most people think that the Holocaust was the worst thing to ever happen to this world, and that things are different today, there are things going on right now, that the majority of people have no clue about. These things are very comparable to the Holocaust and even considered worse. There are things going on in places such as Rwanda and Lybia that are entirely unimagineable. Millions of people, including children, are being murdered, skinned, bombed, shot to death, tortured, held hostage, and the list goes on. Most of what is going on as we speak is so unbelievable. The government does not provide any information about these events so everyone is so uneducated about it. It makes me wonder, what if everyone knew what is really going on?
