This article discusses the ongoing war in Ukraine, and the involvements
of Vladimir Putin the president of Russia. The Russian president claims that he
had no intentions of waging war on Ukraine but the debate between the two countries
continues to fight. The article goes on to discuss that Ukraine is pushing for
a cease fire due to how troublesome the country already is. People of Ukraine
are beginning to become more anxious and afraid of what their country and lives
might become; war does not only effect the country but many people’s lives as
well. Russia has greatly industrialized weapons in comparison to Ukraine so the
United States is considering giving Ukraine lethal weapons to help increase
their weaponry. The article concludes that the U.S and other western countries
have an idea that Russia may have provided Ukraine separatists with missionary and
artillery to help the fight against the Ukraine government but even with these
accusations Russia denies all claims.
The
connection I can perceive from this text is a text-to-self connection due to my
family’s history involving war. My grandfather was a part of the Sikh genocide that
had happened in India, 1984. He tells me stories of all of the horrendous things
that happened and how horribly terrified he actually was. My grandfather
remembered the devastating destruction of one of the greatest temples named The
Golden Temple and how people from his village were recruited to clean off the
blood on the walls from the many casualties that were inside while the attack occurred.
He went to The Golden Temple with his father and spent countless hours cleaning
up The Golden Temple and mourning the loss of numerous Sikh people. This
connection extends my understanding because it helps me realize that war is
still a big issue and that it could happen anywhere at any time, having a
connection helps you relate to a passage or article. The genocide in 84’ has
never been forgotten and every year my grandpa tells us the story once again,
to remind us of how lucky we are to live in Canada and not feel threatened
every single day.
