Speaker- Hong LeeI thought that the speaker did a very good job bringing us into the situation. I think that some of the emotions that he was going through that could have added to the presentation were lost in his laughter. I don’t think that his laughing was a bad thing though. I think that it was good that he could look back at the situation and laugh at how outrageous the events that took place were. It’s amazing that this man was able to live through this environment and come out of it without being traumatized. I really think that what Jason said about how he was educated and knew how to handle all the events and get over it was a big part. He was given the tools to handle the situation and used them. It’s just amazing. It’s hard to imagine a place where they would kill you because you’re educated because America is a place where they try and educate people. It’s also hard to imagine a place where they don’t let you pick food if you’re hungry. What is a place without the people? When Mr. Lee said that Cambodia was a place that not many people knew about it got me thinking. I knew where Cambodia was but I had no idea about the events that took place there. It’s amazing how information like that isn’t spread widely around and talked about. Or maybe it’s just how little teenagers care about the world. I don’t know.
