todays presentations

very iteresting presentations today. the two that stood out was the childs book and the plague. The child book presentation stood out, not because of the book but because of the comment made by the presenter that when asked questions by a child she had no awnser, and they did not know how to tell the child that he would not receive a letter back from grandma. this touched me because, questions about death are hard to awnser. I can awnser on my beliefs but everyones are so different that it can be very confusing for a child when he ask different people the same question and gets different awnsers. So when anwsering a question i think i would make clear to the child that what i am about to anwser is my opinion and my beliefs but they are not shared by everyone. I can see where it get very difficult to address.
the other presentation that touched me was the plague presentation. i found it very informative but it also allowed my imagination to put myself in that position and how would i react, what would life be like if we are centered around when we are going to die. what would i do, what would my family do. I could not reflect too much because i had to pay attention but this is an interesting subject that i will bring up at dinner tonight with my boyfriend and his family. to see how they would react if the plague was invading sw florida. would we run, would we stay put, would we lock our selves away, would we help the dying. I think it will be great dinner conversation :) thanks everyone for the great presentations today. i also was moved by the suicide presentation.
