If you go to this website (copy and paste the address into the address bar)it will take you to an interview with a doctor who was in Sarajevo during the 44 month siege of Sarajevo. In it the doctor says how the snipers were specifically targeting children. (as well as shooting everyone else.)Which I find DISGUSTING. I don't see how shooting kids would help take over a place, the adults are the ones who can shoot back! Perhaps the doctor's accusation is incorrect because kids are more likely to wander into a snipers line of fire, but perhaps it is not. The psychological affect is much greater if a kid dies than if an adult dies. If the enemy will shoot kids in the streets, it makes you fear them more. It means they don't care who they kill, and there's no chance they'll let you survive if they get the chance to kill you. It also just really sets you off, kids have so much life in them, and the innocence factor plays a role too. That's why I think they would shoot the kids more. I can't fathom what these killers could, but it's not too far fetched to suggest they target kids on purpose.
First newspaper article you wrote was appropriate and well written but no reflection which was part of the assignment. Second article on the internet you had a reflection(explanation) but link did not produce an article about Sarajevo at the time of the siege in early 1990's.
ReplyDeleteSo assignment has not been completed according to criteria.
