@Carson4545 I like your point of view. It's awesome to see the reasoning that one should never have to give up their freedom.

@faith_4040 Noble thinking! It's interesting to see how many people share your same values.

A5: I think morally one has to look in themselves and ask if they would be able to live with themselves after making that action. Like the book saying goes "in the quiet of night, the heart knows the lies you told to survive."

@faith_4040 Education is the best way to inform! We should continue talking about racism in the past to help prevent it in the future. Like how we learned about Korematsu vs. U.S. in Civics.

@blust_l Like one old saying we were always told! People banded together can move mountains.

@denver_weedman I agree that it is a lot to try to accomplish.

A4: We can combat racism today by working on it from a government standpoint. If we sort out all of the problems higher up, the lower civilian population will lose their excuses to be hateful.

@jaylenrowva I was amazed when the book started talking about closing immigration and banning travel to Middle Eastern countries.

@cg_ROWVA The news always has new cases of hate crimes every day! :(

Q3: I see a lot of parallels in the hate crimes and targeting just by skin color. The book talked a lot about how Muslims were born in America, but were treated as foreigners even though they had lived here all their lives.

@jaylenrowva That's true! I looked at it more as a poet's last dying words speaking to the crowd, but I didn't realize it could be focused just on Layla.

@blust_l The words "lovers nor tyrant" really help to add the foreshadowing effect!

I think the opening poem is trying to show how time is limited always whether it be until you die or another imminent event. The poem is encouraging the reader to speak their mind and do as they please while they can before time runs out.

@ckalb21 There were a few times I had to stop reading because of how bold she was getting! Especially when they first get to the camp and especially later on. The author really wanted to portray a strong female lead.

[Madi Walker @MadiWalker17]

Q1: My first impression of the book was how bold it was that that the author spoke her political opinions so freely. I was amazed how she added in so many elements of politics right now. It was interesting to say the least.

@Mia26780198 Beautifully said! I agree with your statement, and I think you worded it perfectly! #johnson101

[Madi Walker @MadiWalker17]

@parker_hopping I agree! The mind can imagine things not possible in reality. #johnson101

@Shaisy34 I love how you tied in your own personal life into this quote! #johnson101

[Madi Walker @MadiWalker17]

A5: I agree that in your mind, you tend to forget the faults and focus on the good. Over time, your heart grows fonder of what is missing and the truth and made-up become blurred together.
