This connects to my Public Speaking class that I took because we did a debate and my groups debate was about suicide and the news. We debated whether or not suicide should be publicly announced on the news. We also talked about people who saved suicidal people.
I feel like this article could save someone else who is suicidal because it could show them that what they do to themselves can hurt other people as well. I think that it was amazing for this 14-year-old teen to risk his life and die for these other students. This event affects me because I have had a lot of people save me in so many different ways and some of that was a matter of my life or death and it makes me think of those people who mean so much to me.

What is the purpose for using quotations? The purpose for using quotations on this event is to show the audience that the information is credible and factual;coming from the real source. For example, Musadiq, the cousin of the 14-year-old, says, "The other students backed off, but Aitazaz challenged the bomber and tried to catch him. During the scuffle, the bomber panicked and detonated his bomb."

Do you think that what he did change the perspectives on other suicidal people?
Thank you for your advice, I will try to keep that in mind. This event changed my viewing in life by showing me that there are good people in this world. I think that what he did did change other people's thoughts on suicide.
DeleteThis is an amazing, yet saddening story. I think it is inspirational to hear about such a young boy risking his life to save others. All of your information is separated nicely which makes it easier to read. I do suggest that you try to put your views on the topic into the blog instead of just wondering how it will affect others. Maybe delve a little deeper so people can have different views on the topic. How does it affect your view of life?, as Vanessa said above. Other than that, your blog is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the advice.
