Need hope!

In the poem written by Pastor Martin Niemöller he was trying to say that all they needed was a little bit of hope. If one person would of stand up for others then they could of helped him. He did not think of the other people till he was in their position. But there were some people who stood up for people who were going to soon be put in a type of camp. I wonder why they did not try to help the young then help adults? They all needed to stand up for someone because if one stands up then more will stand up for others.  It is like the quote from the Hunger Games about hope. All you need is a little hope. “a little hope is effective but a lot of hope is dangerous.” When Hitler came to power if the Jewish people had hope they would have maybe gotten farther.

  1. Hope is probably the most powerful emotion on the entire planet it embodies everything good. It's the force that paves a path of light through the thickest of darkness. Hope is a flame as well once its started it spreads and gains enough power to burn down a whole forest. It is water, it changes and shapes everything around it. It is the earth solid and strong, something that can't be broken. As well as the air, wild, free, and necessarily. Hope drives people to do great things, but a lack of it can cause the downfall of entire groups of people. Some Jewish people kept hope which kept them alive and able to speak to us today.

  3. More hope can help you stay alive. But it will be hard.I agree with the Hunger Games quote. Hope is an armor from enemies. Too much hope can defeat you though.

    1. What I don't understand is if I have hope but to much of it how can it hurt me? It will only hurt others right?
