RESPONDING!!!!!! Stimulus We had two starting points to our work. Our first was an extract from 'Amistad' by Spielberg. It was called 'A Slaves Journey'. It was about how the slaves were captured by their own people, taken onto ships across the ocean and sold to people as if they were just another household object or an animal. My initial response to this was shock and disgust because of how they were treated. They had to eat off other people's faces if they weren't given food. The ill were thrown off the ships with large rocks and boulders attached to them. Our second starting point was a photo of slaves cramped onto the deck of a ship this made me feel devastated because of the conditions they had to bare with. As a whole group we put ourselves into the same position to give us the same understanding as slaves had. It felt horrible...
