Hey Dylan, Your blog was really interesting and taught me alot about what happened in Cambodia, after the Vietnam war. And I absolutely agree with the point you made about many children not getting taught about significant wars in history such as this specific one. Although it is a rather depressing and sad topic to be taught in schools, I feel it is important for the younger generations to learn the struggles that people truly went through in those days. Also like you said to learn from some of the mistakes that happened back then in the 1970's, so that now in this day in age we can make better decisions!
Dith Pran is an inspiration and just watching that short clip of his life in your blog gave me that impression. Even though he lived through all those hardships and struggled to live, he was still determined to help other people gain freedom. Now I am definitely going to watch that movie "Killing fields" to learn more!!
Hey Dylan, Well written. I find it interesting how you said "or simply buried alive". Whether you did it intentionally or not, it adds a sort of contrast to the text. Personally I see it as a way of highlighting something by belittling it. I didn't watch the video clip as I don't want to use up the old bandwidth, but I am sure that it adds depth to the text.
