Questions with classmate

Juan: In the book Persepolis, Marjane and her family are going through a hard time dealing with a revolution on a day to day basis in there community. They try to help, but also try to stay back from it, and learn to cope with it. What if there was a revolution in your community? How would you feel and react towards the revolution? What role would you play in this event? Would you speak upon this? Would you run away, or maybe hide? Or would you fight? Would would be your reaction to a revolution taking place in your community?

Recently I sat down with a classmate to discuss the questions above. My classmate, Chris, responded to the questions in many different ways. But, he came a conclusion on what he would do and his reaction to the questions. How Chris would react to a revolution in his community is, he would speak out upon the problem and try to help and make a positive change for the better. He informed me that he is not a fighter, so he absolutely wouldn't fight. But he would stand up for what's right. Still, trying to speak out, Chris said that he would still stay on a low key level. He wouldn't want to speak out too much to the point where he has to be involved, physically, battling in the revolution. He would speak upon the event up until a certain extent. Which refers to having to fight, or be in battle. That was his response on the questions.
