Questions-What does freedom mean to you in your life and what does it mean to lose it?
- Response- I think freedom means to have rights. Everyone has freedom because they can do whatever they choose to do. If you can do one thing in life, you have freedom. People think just because they can’t do something or, don’t choose to do something because the consequences, that they aren’t free to do whatever they want. I disagree because everyone can do whatever they choose to do only if they believe in doing it. Freedom can not be taken away. If you are able to breathe then you have freedom. If you did not have a chance to do absolutely nothing in life then you never had freedom. The Jews did not lose freedom they were just put through oppression. They were put in the ghettos and with limited supply of everything like food and clothes. To me this means they still had freedom they just weren’t as free to do everything they wanted to do. I still believe they went through a tragic time but they just can’t say they didn’t have freedom. The ghettos were the worst place to live besides the camps in my opinion. I think freedom is another of saying life.
Quincy, are you sure everyone has freedom? What about young girls in other countries who want to go to school and they are not allowed to, only because they are girls. Even though they can breathe, they cannot go to school.
ReplyDeleteOne thing the Jews did have freedom with was freedom of thought. They could chose to hope they would be saved or choose to believe they were going to die.
