Armed And Underaged By Jeffrey Gettleman Analysis

When you turn on the News, you can guarantee that there will be some horrifying event going on in the world. Not only do these terrible acts happen around the world, but sometimes that horrifying event that took place, happened on your countries´s soil. It was just this past Halloween, trick-or-treating just had started, since it was so early only the little children were out. The News is going on in the family room as we had the front door open to the screen door, the bucket of candy off to the side of the door from the inside to be able to pass out the candy. A handful for each child. We only had four or five children drop by our house so far when the News caught our attention. My father was downstairs in the basement, me and my brother in

We had seen the breaking News, a man had rented a Home Depot truck and used it as a weapon. He speeds down a trail, hitting bikers and joggers. He killed and injured. He had jumped out of the vehicle, shouting a message with a non-life threatening weapon. It was suspected as a terrorist attack. Conflicts and terrible deeds happen all around the world. Just like in the two texts, “Armed & Underaged” by Jeffrey Gettleman and “The Charge: Genocide” by Lydia Polgreen, talk about the terrible deeds committed around the world. As a result, these terrible deeds in the article are violation against human rights and the destruction of war/invasion. In contrast, some may argue that terrible deeds and problems may only happen in certain parts of the world, only in certain countries. As compelling as the point is, it is not correct. Cruel actions can take place

For instance, as stated in the text, “The Charge: Genocide” by Lydia Polgreen, “On horses and camels, they have stormed black villages, setting fire to huts, stealing cattle, and raping and killing villagers. Janjaweed attacks have often been accompanied by Sudanese bombers and ground troops.” The Janjaweed had invaded the villages of black Darfurians on the orders of their government. They sent destruction in their path, raiding and killing. They caused any damage they could. The evidence supports my claim that another terrible deed that may take place around the world is the destruction of war and invasion because the janjaweed burned the huts, raped, and raided the villages of black Darfurians. Moreover, “The Charge: Genocide” by Lydia Polgreen states, “‘One day this past March, a frail great- grandmother sat amid the charred ruins of her home in Abu Sorouj, a town in Darfur... ‘Everything is gone,’ she said. ‘I have nothing.’” To put it succinctly, there is nothing left to Darfur after the invasion that took place from the Janjaweed. The Janjaweed had burned down their huts in the villages and killed many of the villagers. Any survivors of the village for the most part left. The evidence supports my claim that another terrible deed that may take place around the world is the destruction of war and invasion because the Janjaweed had left the villagers of Darfur
