Review “The Hill We Climb” by Amanda German; rematch the video. You are charged with writing a one-page essay that is reflective of at least one of the following sets of questions:
1. What is the significance of the poem’s title? What might the “hill” signify in our democracy? Why?
2. What do you think is meant by the phrase “quiet isn’t always peace”? If you had to restate this idea in your own words, how would you say this? Can you think of a time when things have been quiet but not peaceful?
3. German writes that “the norms and notions of what just is, isn’t always justice.” What do you think this line means? Do you agree? Why or Why not?
