QW: The White Rose

The White Rose was by far the most interesting story that we had to read. The White Rose meant a lot to me because I could relate with the characters in the story. The characters were college students that wanted change. These kids showed bravery in the darkest moments. When the day finally came for them to be executed, they were not phased at all. When these students first started putting out the articles on standing up to the government, they knew the dangers that came along with their actions. Never the less they were intent on sticking up for what they thought was right, and no punishment could change their minds.
"Somebody, after all, had to make a start. What we wrote and said is also believed by many others. They just don't dare to express themselves as we did" was said by Sophie during the trial. That sentence right there explains the personality of Sophie. How many people do you know would have the courage to stand up to a judge, even when they know if they just say sorry they could get away with a less punishment. Its amazing how many people don't stick up for what they believe in and just let things go.
