GLC students' thoughts on the book, First They Killed My Father.
What GLC students are reading
- First They Killed My Father by Loung Ung
I'm not sure if my first one went through because I forgot to do the confirmation.
ReplyDeleteI think Loung smells ash and smoke. I think Loung hears the girls cries for help and feels sympathy for her.
I think Loung is afraid and she smells ash and burnt. She sees and hears girls crying and screaming. She probably tasted dirt and blood too.
ReplyDeleteIn this chapter, I praised Kim because he is the temporary leader for the family of three. He was able to save his two sisters, take them to a safe area, feed them, and protect them. At 13, especially through an invasion,this isn't easy. I think at this point, Loung is very scared. She's in the midst of bullets, bombs and possibly tanks. She over hears conversations about safety precautions and follows them i.e. moving to the middle of the crowd to be able to know when tanks are coming. I would do the same thing !
ReplyDeleteLoung definitely becomes disoriented by what is happening. She hears crying, screaming and she probably tastes dirt and smoke from explosions. There is chaos and Loung feels confused and afraid for her life.
ReplyDeleteMs. Salvate
I think she was scared and she had to make hard choices of what to do. I also think loung smelled like ash and smoke.
ReplyDeleteHonestly...i was relieved to know that the youn invaded...so that the khmer rouge wouldnt have any more time to kill innocent people...and i really hope they find Pol POt.
ReplyDeleteI agree with Kayla because Loung do describe what she is going through and what she is experincing while all the madness is happening.
ReplyDeleteI think Loung might smell burning huts and flesh of people who didnt escape.She sees and hears her fellow girl mates sobbing and despretly screaming for help but she isn't brave enough to help.
ReplyDeletei think that Loung is feeling anxius because she wants to know if Kim and Chou are ok. I think she is also guty because she let that girl die in the house. She was realived that Kim and Chou are ok. These are all the things she was feeling when the Youn invaded.
ReplyDeleteI feel that Loung hears the voices of people Crying and shouting. I think she feels scared but at the same trying to be a trooper.
ReplyDeleteLoung must of felt very horrified to hear people screaming, crying for help. Yet Loung knew she should of done something but instead she did not show it.
ReplyDeleteLoung here's the cries of other people and smells fire and burning of smoke.
ReplyDeleteLoung most likely hears many people crying and shrieking for help. She probably feels scared for whats to come, and hopeless to know she didn't do anything to help.
ReplyDeleteI think Loung is scared becauseshe smells ashy and burnt things. She hears people crying and when it comes you feel hopless knowing you cant help.
ReplyDeleteLoung has to hear weeping and yelling because of all the terror that has occurred. Loung, Chou, and Kim are very brave because they were so young and they had to deal with everything that was happening to each one of them. When I think about it, I don't know what I would do if I were in their place. Loung has to witness bombs and rockets exploding, flames, blood, and deceased bodies. I agree with Gerald because she probably feels really guilty, after leaving the girl in the hut left alone, to die. Loung wanted to help, but she was terrified. Loung feels distressed because she doesn't know if Chou and Kim are alive. Finally when she runs into Kim and Chou, she's overly happy that she found them!
ReplyDeleteIn the youn invasion I think what they first felt was ready, they ready to help some people and save some life's. They might have saw many people; sick, young, died. They might have saw burned huts and some youn might have died and they most of all they saw the Khmer Rouge soldier.
ReplyDeleteLoung probably tasted the ashes and smoke from the explosions. She also probably heard the screams and yells from girls around her. She might have been very disoriented because everything around her was being destroyed by the bombs.
ReplyDeleteIt smelled like smoke, and she could hear peple scream,
ReplyDeleteYea I agree with all of you people, she smelled smoke she heard people screams and she probably saw people running
ReplyDeleteYeah what Johnny said, I agree with all of you. Especially since loung uses slot of detail
ReplyDeleteI think that loung problably could taste the ashes burning and smelled the fire hear all the louds bombs and the screams of the all the peolple getting hurt. She was really brave for standing all of those horrible things that were happening around her.
ReplyDeleteLoung was excited to find Chou and Kim after she was so scarred. Then they start to walk again. Her legs hurt she says. When they have chiken she must have liked the taste of it.
ReplyDeleteit hard to see thing like that happen to little child,..at her age
