The
'Chanse' Interview!
"War
and its effects on people at home!"
I asked
a pupil in Year 6 called Leanne about whether the war is affecting
their life and this is what they said,
"It
doesn't really effect me because it's not like I'm going to war,
but it would effect me if one of the people out there was my brother".
I
asked what it felt like to see pictures of Iraqi children injured
and hurt and in the conditions that they're in? Leanne replied,
"Sad,
because you wouldn't like to see a picture of your brother and sister
being hurt like that".
What
sort of pictures have you seen? I asked,
"People
getting carried away with awful burns all over".
I
also asked, how would you feel if that was your brother fighting
out there?
"Upset
because he's risking his life saving other people".
I asked
Leanne what she thought about the war being all over the newspapers
and on the TV for most of the time?
"I
get bored and fed up of Iraq being on television all the time with,
'its Iraq this, and Iraq that', that I wish there was a channel
just for the news."
My
final question was whether Leanne thought we were doing the right
thing by stopping and helping all the injured Iraqis?
"Stopping
to help little children is OK, but not all adults, because they're
stronger and are more capable of surviving. ...We want the war to
finish as soon as possible!"
War
is effecting all our lives, but is war really worth it when so many
people are getting killed or injured?
What
do you think?
