Iraq in Fragments/Presentations

I was shocked with the movie we watched during class, Iraq in Fragments. I think the horrors in Iraq "hit home" more because the movie was from the eyes of an 11 year old. I felt like I could relate to his innocence more than others because I have an 11 year old sister, and she is the 5th grade. This poor little boy hadn't been supported in his education, and after 5 years of 1st grade, he was forced again to drop out. It was at times simply hard to watch when his boss was verbally abusive, and the violence that the little boy saw was too much for him to be witnessing at such a young age. The saddest part is that the boy thought that his boss really loved him... Poor little guy. 

I was very happy with today's presentation topics. I learned a lot about each, and the more we individually learn and share, the more we will get to understand about Iraq and Afghanistan. I am looking forward to the next 2 presentations, as well was learning about the involvement that Iran has with the war.
