More than just a book‚ The Reader reminds that the concepts of guilt and responsibility are not clear-cut ideas‚ and even more so during the Nuremberg Trials. Guilt is simply one of the many human emotions‚ but the feeling of guilt is unique to everyone and there is no one meaning for guilt. Though guilt is such a strong feeling‚ judgments must not be made simply on how "guilty" one feels for their actions. If that is so‚ then Hanna would never have gone to jail at all. Judgments should instead be

I believe that every child has the want to learn. They just need the space and help from someone to feel safe enough to want to learn. Kindergarteners and first graders would have more structure. It is so that every student has the same knowledge so they can use it in their own way later. They would learn how to read and write‚ learn their numbers and how to do simple math‚ and they would learn about science. All of the students will have a test at the end of the lesson unit.

Others choose to lean toward the fantastic‚ imagining fictional ideals and utopian lifestyles.

letters written by the protagonist and addressed to God. I was actually very pleased to be reading something formatted different; I thought it would be more interesting.
