READING NOTES #8
I believe the theses of the stories are the testimonials that I have read. The readings convey the suffering and injustice of the North Korean government. Many people are suffering because of communism in their country. In the testimony it states that it is a crime in North Korea to leave the country without permission or to complain about the different situations that are going on. If that is one hundred percent true, then that means everyone has committed a crime.
The themes I believe are the stories that are told. It’s funny to see how a country that is some what powerful can be in this situation. Many North Koreans are trying to flee to other countries for freedom. They are not looking for wealth or to take over another country, they just want to be free. In the testimonial it is written that if any person in China finds a North Korean refugee they are to turn them in for a reward. If a Chinese person is caught helping a refugee they will be penalized.
In a way I believe the North Koreans are in a shit hole just like us here in the United States. It is obvious that we are not a communist country but we are suffering as well. Poverty levels have gone sky high and many people are going bankrupt. Houses are being foreclosed and people thrown on the streets. It is very sad to see what the government in China is doing to these poor refuges that are only looking for a better life. What happened to helping others in need? Then again, communism is what blinds people and is a very bad way to rule a country.
Why have poverty levels risen?
What can we do to avoid this from getting worse?
Do you believe that history repeats itself?
I would research the difference between North and South Korea.
I would see how the North Koreans can adapt to the environment in China if they do not get caught by the Chinese government.
I would also research the poverty levels in each country in Asia.
