2. Rosemary Lawlor Rosemary Lawlor was a recently married woman and a new mother. She was forced to leave her new home and move into another neighborhood after the violence between the Catholics and Protestants grew to a point to where she felt her family was in danger. Her new home was in an all Catholic neighborhood in Ballymurphy. Little did she know, that her so thought “new and secure” neighborhood would be exactly where the British would lead multiple attacks. She fought alongside other citizens so they could try to regain their independence from the British and led a protest against the British army.

3. Wilma Derksen In part four it explains the story of Wilma Derksen. Her daughter Candace had been missing for a month and her only concern was that they would find her. Fortunately, they did, but it was not the way she hoped. Officers found her in a shed, tied up, and frozen to death. Wilma and her family were devastated about their daughter’s death. The night that they were told of this, a strange man came to their door. He told them about how his daughter was murdered about a decade before that. He explains how the justice system failed him. he tells every detail of every trial and every expense that came with it. He told them also how all of that worrying and all of that hate took a hard toll on his health. Derksen quotes that she did not know if his wife divorced him but to her it sounds like it. After hearing all of this they decided that it was better to forgive and forget, then to have their daughter being remembered as a victim in a murder scene. In the beginning of this story we talk about a girl named Kimber Reynolds. After a night out of minding her own business, she is shot and killed by two released convicts. Then, her father, Mike Reynolds, vows to make sure that this event does not happen to anyone else. He then creates the three- strikes law, making the sentence of a convicted person much worse.

4. Andre Trocme was a Huguenot pastor. He helped to house, teach, and protect Jewish children while they were being persecuted by the Nazis. He was warned that if he continued to act as he was that he would be arrested and there would be serious consequences, but he continued to help them. He began to smuggle Jewish children across the Swiss Alps and into Switzerland, but was later arrested in a police roundup at Lyon railway station. He was not killed because his death would have only sparked more defiance and another “Andre Trocme” would just rise in his place. André Trocmé

5. What does limits of power mean? Having power can be a good thing, if you have the right amount. If you have too much, it can lead to corruption and normally the people in charge will abuse the position they’re in. Having “too little” power, may seem like a disadvantage, but in reality the seemingly “powerless” are not always as “powerless” as they seem to be. A good example of this would be any ancient empire, they expand and expand until they reach a size that they cannot sustain themselves and then they collapse. Power can only go so far and if a person gets greedy with it, they will cause their own downfall. This can relate to the story of David and Goliath because Goliath had never been beaten in hand to hand combat so he walked up to david with a “big head” in other words he was cocky and did not realize that david had enough power to control himself and he was able to out with and over power the giant Goliath because he did not have enough power to control all of himself.
