The Victims of Bloody Sunday: Report

30th of January, 1972. One of the most famous and terrible tragedies of all time. The Bloody Sunday. Although we all now the victims that have died for no reason (wars, country revolutions, civil wars, and more all over the world), this was one of the worse. Why? Because of what was happening in that time in Europe. The people where fighting for the rights that they deserved that the government didn't give them. That day there was a civil rights march in Londonderry, Northern Ireland. That day, that historic day, the soldiers from the British Parachute Regiment opened fire and killed 13 people. Another man died 5 months later. This report is about the victims but in a different approach. In the approach we talk about who were this people and how it affected in their personal lifes.

Some people where more affected economically than others, but there is no difference if any of a family member dies in the emotionally way. For example, Gerard McKinney (In my opinion one of the most confusing kills in the Bloody Sunday, although every person that died was killed for no reason. In other words, without justification) . A father of 8 children that coached a junior football team and ran the city's Ritz rollerskating rink.  Killed by Soldier G at the Glenfada Park. Like the others, he was trying to make his way to safety. Witnesses told the Widgery Inquiry that he raised his arms and shouted "Don't shoot, don't shoot". Unfortunately, he was shot in the head. The worst thing about this, is that he left his children and his incoming son (which they named him after him) without somebody that supports them in the economically way.

There are many other examples about heroic and unfortunately losses in this tragedy. In my opinion this is my favorite report because it takes us deep down where the real story is hidden.

  Surprise Jonah

It was a normal day for Jonah. He worked at Disney World as the head worker's main assistant. He was his wingman. That means, he organised every detail of the whole park. He knew every toy every person that came in, everything. I could tell you every detail of his work but it's a long list, very long. He was a great worker, but a little weak with his hands (he was uncoordinated). That day, the head worker asked him if he could carry some really important boxes for him. He went right away, although he though it wasn't a good idea. He was going so fast the boxes fell. He realised that inside the boxes, there extremely delicate things. Because they broke. He realised that every worker was starring at him and they got really angry at him.

He felt that what he did could end his job. In other words, he was going together fired. It started as a great day and ended as the worse in his career. Everybody was talking about him and what was going to happen. There where interesting stories. It was really strange because he didn't have that much friends.

Suddenly, he had a text from his boss. He wanted to talk to him. Jonah got more nervous than he was already.

When he entered the room, he was surprised! He forgot it was his birthday! "Surprise!" They said. That day was the best. His boss told him that everybody makes mistakes. The important thing is to learn from them.

My opinion about Nadim's decision

 For those who don't know Nadim's experience, he's did something that few people would do if they had a great economic situation. Nadim is a guy with a lot of money. A LOT. He abandoned his island (yes he lived in a island) and he'll go to a city called Cork, Irleand. He'll give money to people in need and experience how do you live with the minimum wage.

In my opinion, it's a decision that we have to admire. He did a great something that most people wouldn't do. Sometimes, people give money for charity, but he WENT TO A CITY AND EXPERIENCE HOW POOR PEOPLE LIVE. I think it's admirable and most people would be scared to do that.
