Out of the different types of silence that we have discussed so far in class, there is no doubt that the worst type of silence is the one that is forced on someone by somebody else. When I think about forced silence, something that came to mind was the silence that is forced upon prisoners of war. In class, we talked about how oppression can open the floodgates to silence, especially if the oppressing group or person believes that they have a right to superiority over the oppressed people, which is something that is talked about in Unspoken. For prisoners of war, it can come down to oppression in its worst form. In the heat of a battle or war, it is not uncommon for the stress and trauma of war to cause somebody to lose logic, and unfortunately there are scenarios where aggression is taken out on the captives of war. In other cases, it can come down to acts of pure hatred,  by just being part of the enemy, or having a certain background that can lead to terrible acts of oppression by the controlling or oppressing group.
