My Personal Reflection

The Shall Not Grow

My feelings when we saw the video were like a rollercoaster because in many parts the scenes were very hard and so many feelings, were like I want to cry but also I cant because I was in the middle of the classroom so were encounter feelings, but also in many parts I had feelings of proud, about the sacrifices that the soldiers have been doing, because since the moment that the soldier go out to his home is so hart to left the family and don’t have the answer that if you going come back. I like the documental because in all the scenes was how if I was living in this era, this help a lot of to comprise the realistic situation that the soldiers lived in the past. This times were very different as now in the actually, for example the roles in the society of women and men were having many changes in the past of the years, so now we have wars but not how were before, one of the most important changes is the innovation in arms technologies, we have a lot of types of arms than in the past. I was very shocking with the places in the soldiers have been and the circumstances that they had, so in the actually we won’t be able to sleep in the ground for many days especially the young, but in the past they it for the proud of their country. And also the food that they were eating was a little portion and only like bread and a cup of water. I like a lot of the language that the military used in all the movie, because it feel very informal how if I was talking with any friend and this helps for feel us more comfortables and be more conscientious with the hard situation that they have been living. The images that shocked me were when the young soldiers die, how they buried them was very shocked to me because this is a big sadness for the family that is waiting with hopefully to them relatives, these are the hardest moments for the families and also we can realize that the harder sacrifice is for the soldiers but also for the families that are waiting. The only part that I felt confused was when the scenes changing so fast and I lost in the story and in the moments. I think that the sergeant used a very realistic language and for the occasions that he been speaking, because for each parts he used the appropriates languages and tones. The situation that had been lived in the past is very different that in the actually, only the interests were changing a lot of, and also the way to see the world of the society. The characters and my actually consider that we share the obstinate that I am with my all goals and challenges, that what I propose I won’t stop until I accomplish it. Well for the end of my written, I consider me a very obstinate person but in a different way of the soldier and this is the reason for why I am so proud of them, because our environments are so different, in the actually we live more comfortables and still  we complain, and the circumstances in them were living many times were so hard. That I thinks after I see this movie is that we have to be more conscientious and grateful of that we have and the circumstances where we living and the lucky ones that we are.

  1. I really like how personal you made your response, it is exceptionally effective. I especially liked how you emphasized by saying you were gonna cry but you were in the busy classroom. Truly brilliant. a perfect piece of literatuređź‘Ś

  2. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your post, as it had a nice blend of being analytical along with emotion. You compared aspects of life during the war to life today, while also sharing your own thoughts about the film, and overall, your post was very sincere.

  3. I like how you explained your mixed emotions I think everybody who watched the film would have a mixed emotions like you. When I was watching it I had an emotion rollercoaster as well so I definitely know how you have felt as I could also see it from the post but maybe next time you could split them into paragraphs so you can emphasize your emotions more.
