The Clan
I felt this reading was fairly easy to comprehend and very interesting. I wasn't aware that the United States had tested nuclear bombs so close to civilization and that so many people were effected by the radiation. It really surprised me that so many generations have been affected by the radiation still. The way the government used Communism to scare people into allowing them to test bombs so close to civilization was not necessary. This reading conveys how we accept almost whatever we are told by the government about past events to be true. Maybe we should start asking more questions about what is really going on and hold the officials more accountable.

I completely agree I thought that was the main message of this reading and it was written to make people think.
ReplyDeletePart of what was great about this reading was that, because it was so easy to read and a very solid point, it puts all of the emphasis on the what she is trying to say.
