Journal 7 from Charles Robinson

Part One:
 One of the biggest takeaway from this book , or from the later chapters is that this type of bombing, particularly follows people throughout their life. A quote that reminded me of this would be, "His most disturbing complaint was a weird infection in his fingers, which had become bloated with pus and would not heal." It had seem that if not physically, even mentally the bomb had deeply harmed these individuals. Another takeaway would be strength of spirit these individuals possessed during these events as well as their aftermath. The accounts of the adversity all of these people faced, and how they handled it clearly shows their strength of character.
Part Two:
The most enlightening event from Dan Carlin's podcast was the discussion of the London Blitz. Germany bombed London every night from Sept. 7, 1940 to Nov. 13, 1940. Additionally, they could fly twice a day from Paris into London. This was very hard for me to grasp mentally, the assurance of being bombed every night for a month with the addition terror of a midday bombing or any thing else.
Part Three:
I firmly believe one of the best things we can perform to prevent these kinds of activities is to pay attention to these activities as well as the legislation and matters involving such event, no matter how mundane the forum or if other events are occurring that might distract us. The worse thing that could happen is that voices of dissent to these activities aren't raised because we forgot to care, or were busy with something else.
