Today in class, we viewed the remainder of the documentary about the doctor who was performing surgery on blind people living in North Korea. After watching the part about the concentration camps, it becomes clear to the viewer how the citizens are ruled with an iron fist. It was quite scary how if one person did something the slightest bit illegal, his whole family would be imprisoned for life . What shocked me at the end of the film was when the blind people could finally see again. instead of thanking the doctor, they thanked their dear leader. One thing that stuck with me was when the narrator said how there was no difference between being loyal to their leader, and acting like they love their leader out of fear.
When the documentary was finished, Mr. Schick was telling us the three grades that would still be put in the grade book. The one that the class discussed the most was class participation. They enjoyed talking about which students would recieve an A for participation, and which wouldn't.
I am pretty nervous about the test this friday, as I haven't been taking good note.
