Invisible Children

It was one of the most powerful movies I've ever seen. We talked about what it meant to us during class, but as the producers said, the true meaning of what goes on there is almost impossible to comprehend without first hand experience. The producers did a fantastic job imitating the normal American kid: Innocent and arrogant at the start, with the ability to immediately grow up and think.

In the middle of our class discussion, I came up with this really good discussion idea. The only problem was arranging it in a way that made sense. I was really close to raising my hand when Mr. Kramer called on Jett. She said the exact thing I was going to say (except in a much sharper and to the point way). If you're reading this Mr. Kramer, then I figured this blog would be the best way to let you know that I was listening and engaged. I was trying to think of a way to add on to what Jett said but...she rarely leaves anything to add on to. Okay, back to the invisible children, deeper meaning stuff.

If a kid ever got abducted in Deerfield, everyone would know about it. For example, a few years ago a girl named Caroline went missing. Hundreds if not thousands of people over the span of about a day and a half, took their ever so important time to look for her in the freezing cold. Caroline showed up at her house the next day. The name invisible children is very literal. These African children, who are invisible to the rest of the world, are getting abducted daily. Their names are swiped off the record, almost as fast as they are dragged away by the LRA. Usually, no one goes looking for them....They are invisible.
