“The past is never dead, it’s not even past”
”The past is never dead, it’s not even past”. This is a qoute Mrs. H gave us in English. She asked us to reflect on it so here’s my reflection. I think this quote is saying that the past has already happened but it still comes up in everyday life and if we don’t stick up for what’s right we (society) what happened back then will happen again maybe it just being a little fight with friends or maybe something much bigger like a war or something so terrible if we don’t change our ways it will happen again. I think this quote is also saying that the past is already there, you can’t forget what’s happened but you can move on. If you don’t move on you won’t do anything in life, but if we forget completely about what has happened were are liable to make the same mistakes and ruin our relationships,society, or Nation. I think this quote is related to what happened in Germany with the Nazis because it is the past, but if we discriminate by race,or religon we could end up in the same predicament.I think this quote is just warning us to be careful with our actions, stay true to our beliefs, and treat others with respect no matter what the differences are.

Hannah,
“If you don’t move on you won’t do anything in life, but if we forget completely about what has happened we are liable to make the same mistakes and ruin our relationships, society, or Nation.”
I found your quote above very intriguing and well thought out! Great analysis!
