Rwanda

In the article 10 years later in rwanda it shows a much more horrific picture in comparassion to the article Children or the genocide because it is more descriptive, it describes the scene in the church as well as how the bodies were preserved this whole time. It also tells us of how 800,000 people died as in comparrision to the other article where it says that only 500,000 people died and there are many different numbers as they are all estimates as to how many died. Although they both convey evil very well depending on the reader, for instance to a mother or father the children in rwanda article would be much more scary as it depicts children with dead families and the thought of their families in this condition could be quite scary, but to someone who is squemish the thought of a woman without a forearm would be much more graphic then the children. The EQ i would like to refer to this article "Does evil or fear lead one to the following; experience of violence, infliction of violence and/or observation of violence" and it leads to all of these as the fear or the genocide is what makes the tutsi keep these bodies preserved for future generations and the evil in the hearts of the hutu extremists lead them to kill many many people.

  1. YOu see how evil and darknwess exsistis in humanity as you have read the articles. You are beginning to bring in text examples. Try to further your points by further adding specific quotes to add the imapact adn explain hwo that helps with the layers the author creates. You have a good point about humanity about point of view and who reads and interprets the article. A good start.
