Valentina's Genocide Experience

1. Imagine that you were Valentina. What would you do or say if you were confronted by Bagaruka in the village after the genocide?
I would kick and scream and probably take my anger out on him.

2. Put yourself in the shoes of Denis Bagaruka. How could you kill all of these innocent people? What would you have to do to create a mindset that would make it possible for you to murder innocent women, men, and children?
I would have to do it all in anger. My mindset would be revenge for what has happened to my friends and family.

3. What kind of punishment Bagaruka be given?
He should be given an execution or a jail sentence for life.

4. Try to put yourself in Valentina's shoes. It is three years after the end of the genocide. In what ways does the genocide stil impact your daily life?
She can not use her hand because of the machete damage. She has to remember all of those things that happened. She still has no mother or father or brother. And two big scars on the back of her head from more machete marks.
