KLG Thoughts...

1. The question that I has haunted me for the course of this book is simple. Why is most of Europe completely oblivious to the atrocities being committed in the Congo? At what Point Will King Leopold's good luck run out? When will the world grow weary of the Belgian King's greed? Unfortunately, this question will not be answered until later in the book. However, I find it enjoyable to piece together the evidence of King Leopold's weakening grip on power.

2. For the most part, my group discussion shows potential. Although Drew, Isabel, and I showed a great interest in the relevance of the text, the other half of the group often talked while a point was being made. This was frustrating to say the least. The quality of the group discussion was very high when all participants were engaged and eager to give their opinion. Since I know that I am a strong asset in seminars, it is my goal to raise the interest of others who are diverting from the overall progress of the group.
