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 would kind of tried to save some people but not all because there where bullets flying everywhere and what if loung got shot.
ReplyDeleteIf I were Loung I wouldn't help the people screaming for help. There were bullets flying all around her so she could have been shot at any moment. I would've felt bad for Pithy's mother, but what could she say?
ReplyDeleteIf I were Loung I don't think I would have helped anyone because my main focus would have been getting back to my siblings safely. I wouldn't have said anything to Pithy's mom bacause nothing could have made a mother who just witnessed her daughter's death feel better.
ReplyDeleteI agree if i was in this situation I wouldnt have helped anyone else. I mean i would have felt horrible but i would have looked out for myself.
ReplyDeletei will help the people screaming for help because i will feel bad if someone on the family lose a member -_-
ReplyDeleteTouchy Topic ! If I were running back to get my backpack, I would save the children first. I say this because the children are the future and I couldn't live with myself the next day knowing that I didn't save lives that I could have. With Pithy's mother, I would leave her right where she was. At this point, Pithy's mom was in great agony for the loss of her child and nothing could have changed that under the Khmer Rouge or flying bullets. Life would have been miserable and full of regret.
ReplyDeleteFirst off, oh my god. These Khmer Rouge soldiers are so cold-hearted. They don't care about anyone and they are so brutal. If I were Loung, I wouldn't help the people who were left behind in the warehouse. It's not that I wouldn't, I can't. It's either dying or surviving. She could have died instantly if she tried to help someone. It also seemed like Loung wanted to help, but she didn't want to die. The main priority for her was to go back in the warehouse, get her bag, and get to her siblings as safe as she could. I wouldn't have said anything to Pithy's mother because she's already coping with the loss of her daughter. If Loung said something, she would probably be mad or not even answer..
ReplyDeleteI would feel bad though because Pithy and Loung were friends. It's so sad to hear that Pithy died. It is really difficult when you have to deal with the loss of a relative or friend..
I like to think that I would be brave enough to help other people - but I think in a situation like the one Loung was in, it would be hard to think of other people. You can feel bad for someone who is going through something terrible but still not be able to take the time away from your own personal goal to help your family.
ReplyDeleteI think i would have gone back to save them Because if i didn't I would live the rest of my life with a grudge. So I say I would help out all the kids there Because like Christina said: Kids are the future.
ReplyDeleteTo be honest I wouldn't really help the people who are screaming because I need to save myself.I wouldn't say anything to pithy's mother.
ReplyDeleteI think that i would have at least tried to save as many people as i can just so that i would feel good about my self. I also would agree with Cristina & lisa, if the people i was to save are children i would do that because children have more knowledge then most of the older men and women.
ReplyDeleteSally,
ReplyDeleteIn that situation idont know what would i will do, Its such a Big desition ; like you would think,is a risk on saving you, or other peoples..
And you can feel kindaaa bad for someone who is going through a terrible moment, But Idont know things happeen !
to tell the truth i wouldn't help anyone because i would want to get to my own family fast. then for pithy mom maybe i would say sorry in a really low voice while i am running away.
ReplyDeletePersonally, I wouldn't turn back to help anyone. In those situations you have to only think about yourself and your family. "Every man for them selves." Yes I would say something to Pithy's mother because thats my best friend, && I wouldn't want to see my best friend die like that!
ReplyDeleteI would have helped however I could have helped because I would have probaly got hit by all the flying bullets
ReplyDeleteFor a fact I would help the people because its bad enoufh the people are suffering they want to escape and be free also maybe haveing revenge. The more people you have saved the more you will have support and help from the people you saved.
ReplyDeleteIf I were Loung,
ReplyDeleteI would've tried to save as many people as possible. I know if I were any of those screaming people, I would've wanted help.
But also at the same time I would want to get to my family as quickly as possible and escape from the flying bullets.
I believe I wouldn't have said anything but sorry to Pithy's mother. Nothing I could've said as Loung would make her feel any better after witnessing her daughter die.
These Khemer Rouge soldiers seem they dont care. It was a dangerous place with bullets flying and Luong could have gotten hurt. I would try to help people but I would be scared for my own life as well
ReplyDeleteIf I was Loung, running back to the shelter to get the backpack, I don't know I would help but I would want to try to help. I Would want to say something to Pithy's mother but I don't think I could how to help a someone who just lost one i don't know.
ReplyDeleteI would not help people as I'm going back . Even though at that moment It's selfish, I need to be there for my family and myself. Of course I would want someone to help me, but my main concern would be myself and my blood line .
ReplyDeleteI would try to save as many people as I could. I wouldn't say anything to Pithy's mom except for just saying sorry for the death of your daughter.
ReplyDeletei would feel guilty for not helping anyone areound me receiving my backpark because i dont want to risk my life for other people and i still have many many years to live
ReplyDeleteI don't think I would help the people because my family needs me. I wouldnt know what to say to Pithy's mom because its too horible. i would be so scared that i couldn't think.
ReplyDeleteIf you were Loung, running back to the shelter to get the backpack, would you help the people who are screaming for help? Would you say anything to Pithy's mother? If so, what would you say?
ReplyDeleteIn a situation luong and her family was in, there is nothing you can do to really help. I would not have helped the people who were screaming for help, because alot of them are sick, and if you help one of them, you would have to help all of them. Iwould not have said anything to pithy's mother, because i would have gotten out of the shelter as quickly as possible.
