Key Question: Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes by Eleanor Coerr
What did you learn about world peace from this book? How can you
apply this to your life?
I learned that Sadako became sick from an atom bomb that
exploded in her country. Sadako
did
not know about her illness right away. It is too bad that she did not have a
long life. We
need
to learn new ways of handling problems in a peaceful way without using guns and
bombs
to
solve conflict. People and countries don't always agree about things. We should
find ways
of talking over disagreements. We also should listen to
each other opinions before we get upset
and
start fighting. I feel that I should not fight over little things. I should
take turns and listen when
another
person is talking. When that person finishes talking, I can say what's on my
mind without
any
trouble. I feel that fighting does not always help the problem but it can get
worse. If my
classmates and I keep on respecting people's
ideas and thoughts and don't get mad about little
stuff, maybe the world will be a better
place to live.

Key Question: Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes by Eleanor Coerr
What did you learn about world peace from this book? How can you
apply this to your life?
Reading this book tells me that the Japanese people had a hard
time running from place to place in
World War II. During war, you may not have a home
to live because a bomb might hit it. It can be
very
scary and your family may be killed. I learned that we need to find other ways
of dealing with
each
other. I feel wars are not the answer to everything. If we kill everyone, we
won't have a future.
We should try to find ways to deal with countries in peaceful
ways. Fighting doesn't always solve
problems. I also learned that we should work
together and learn from each other.
In our classroom we have kids from
the same things, but why get mad? We also
have kids from other countries, too. We might look
different but it does not give us the right to
hurt others. It is not easy to control your feelings.
I get mad but I try to
count and then start to say what's on my mind. I also try not to hurt other
kids'
feelings.
I don't get so excited like I used to get. I try to be calmer about things that
I do. I am going
to
be more caring to my family and be glad that we are together.
