This article i found is called Church: Cuba offers 2 free prominent dissidents. This article is about about an agreement to release two prominent dissidents which basically is someone who has a very strong opinion and out put on things and can careless what someone says. So in this article there is a man who really wants to stick up for what he thinks is right and has refused for months to accept exile in Spain. An exile is where someone is enforced to be removed from ones native country. There were two men but one did not want to stick up for his rights but the other did therefore he said he would remain in jail until ailing prisoners are free and other demands were met.
Some of my thoughts on this article is that i would do the same thing to stick of for my rights even if there were harsh consequences. I was not aware of this at all. Also this article will not affect me at all.
Jenna,
ReplyDeleteThat's a very interesting article! It always amazes me to see how far people will go to stand up for what they believe in... I've also read stories about people going on hunger strikes to try and get the food rationing conditions changed in Cuba. Sometimes things change and other times they do not.
And I absolutely LOVE what you have done with your blog design. It is really cool and I think it's great that you took time to make the blog reflective of your personality.
