Question answers 1-4


1. I would set it as if they start putting laws against people that didn’t do anything then it should be taken away. It also would start by if they start killing people. The laws should be places when these things happen to people.
2. Nations can be stopped turning against people maybe by having a leader that is impartial to a certain group or have laws that make everybody equal. They also might be able to make laws for stopping the government by going against the people.
 3. Lenkin could turn his moral outrage into action by going to the government and telling about the problem of the people. He could also have gathered help from other nations thought the government. he could have brought it up in the news paper mabye by asking them. 
4. The Armenian could have gone out for revenge after the people that hurt them. They also could have decided to not take revenge and just remembered it as a terrible memory. They could have moved out of the country too.

Answers to questions 1-5


I think that the phase “Newspaper of Record” and the “All the News That’s Fit to Print” means that they report the best stories they can find. It also could mean that they print the biggest stories that they find and the most interesting. The benefits that could come from the New York Times covering the Armenian Genocide and killings it that it probably made it more public so people would what to help them. It probably also could have helped the United States to know this so they could end help over there. The Armenians could have gotten help to what was happening.  The man who invented the word “genocide” was Raphael Lempkin. Have a certain word to describe something is important because it gives a certain way to explain it had helps it give a certain definition. It also gives a shorter way explaining it. The New York Times shy away from using because it probably would spread to people in the U.S. and then could leak out to India were they would not like and might become against the U. S. Keller might be able to turn to judges or government officials because they are able to give authority behind it and they are able to make a final decision. They are able to debate it out and see what they should do. This could help say if it were a genocide.

Armenian Genocide iwitness


Hayastan Maghakian Terzian was a girl during the Armenian Genocide.  She looks like she was thought a lot. She looks kind of sad and a little worn. Some of her family was deported, but her father, mother, and she were saved by a man named Consul Davis. He had first gotten his father and to him to the consulate.  She was also taking to the consulate. Her mother was also able to go because she escaped before being deported. She is probably feeling a great lost because she lost her sister and other members of her family. She looks like she I sad and been worn down by all the events that have happened. She went to different places and finally stops at Rhode Island. During her time there she probably when throw a time of sadness of the loss of some of her family members. She probably had to get used to living with just her mother and father. She probably got a job and had a family. She looks like the Armenian Genocide left a mark inside her. She looks like she is a little heart broken and sad.
Edward Bedikian was another person who survived the Armenian Genocide. He had a friend with him during this time. They both were thrown in the cellar of a school. She was weak and they took her because of it. They took the weak and dead people.  He locks angry and determined. He also looks a bit worn to from all the events. After the genocide was over he was probably released. He probably had to feel the pain of losing her and maybe some guilt from letting them take her. He also could have a feeling of revenge to the people who did it. He probably got a job and started a family. He also might have been determined to keep his family safe. These people look like the genocide was a terrible thing by hoe they look and how they seem. It is promptly painful for them to think about it.
