My final blog post

     My reaction towards the book, was not shocking because I kinda knew that the family was going to separate. And that the mom and sisters were not going to survive because they were girls and they weren't in shape or fit to do all the hard work and labor that they had to do at the camp. But in the middle of the book when they arrived at the first camp the dad and the son was in line and the SS soldier told them to tell the other gruad different ages for them so they could go into the line where you were going to survive I was surprise that a SS officer even helped them out and saved their lives. But overall i think that the book was good and I learned about all the different camps and about all the people the author comes across

       I think that the project was ok and the blogging was cool to do and it was also nice to see people comment on our blogs and for them to understand what i was coming from when I related the story to my life. And this project is important for teenagers to be apart of because they learn a lot of stuff that didn’t even happen in America or had to do with us. And its cool that they learn new things that don’t have to do with things down here. So the book was ok and it was a challenge but i got it done.

My feeling to the end of the novel was kind of mad it had no meaning to it nothing gave me a happy smile or even made me feel any kind of surprised or sadness it was just blah. I mean his dad just died in front of him he was all alone now then blame he was saved what kind of ending is that. I mean I know I was supposed to feel rejuvenize that he was saved but I wasn't and the way his father died was so boring that it really didn't hit me like it was meant to do I mean I felt bad that now he was alone but I was expecting him to die in some outrageous way but I got nothing. So yeah my final verdict on either the book was good or not is a no because the book start of as a dull book nothing was really going on it was pretty boring then the it too to page 60 to actually kick up the action then it left of with a terrible ending you as a reader would forget this book in, t minus 1 hour yup already forgotten so yeah that it I didn't like and hope never read it again

My final thought about this unit and what I learned in the book was that it was really interesting to see Elie story about what he went through. Find out what really happen to these people actually gave me and a emotional feeling meaning mad feeling but. Come down to the typing in blogging it was kind of interesting to see people to respond to what I posted and actually made me feel very grateful to all who did it and wanted to say thank you. But the blog itself a whole different story it wasn't at exciting and kind of made me mad because all my post wasn’t able to get posted, and I felt as though they should have been. That was my final thought on this unit goodbye.

Final blog post

My reaction to the end of the book is that the end of the book was really like vague almost cause like a all that he said was my father died and got rescued a week from when his father died. So the end of the book of the book was not good at all, but the book by itself from 1-10 I give it an 6 because of the ending. The ending really brought down the rating for me or else it would've been an 8 or even an 8.5. The whole setting of the book was really described well and the whole book was good but i the only two things that I didn't like about the book was that I don't think he really described the places he went to. It felt like he was moving too each different part of the story way too fast. Another part that didn't like was the part  about the ending which I already told you about.One part that I did like was when Mosihe described how the babies were thrown up in the air and were used for target practice. One major theme that was in this book was Bystander. Bystander was shown so many times i legit forgot the number,bystander was shown on page 111 when Ellie's dad was beaten for asking for some water from elie because he was sick adn elie just laid there not doing anything.

My final thought about this project is I thought I was going to love this project and blog all the time but it turns out that i really disliked this because i feel like we only have 2 weeks left why do we have to do this for our last weeks being a jjh student.The part that i really disliked was that we had to do like 3 blog post a week plus read and meet our deadlines or else we wouldn't get any response.Like I said we really should've just done something that was relaxing and not stressful. I Learned that in order to get people to comment on your blog you need to write more in detail. The reason why this project is important is that it tells us too instead of being a bystander be an upstander.

this is a imagery's of Elie and the thing's he had to go to

Please listen! Why won’t you just listen to me

“Jews, listen to me! That’s all I ask. No money. No pity. Just listen to me!”-Moishe

Being in that situation where Moishe  went through something tragic and terrible and trying to tell people that something is happening and they just don’t  believe him and think Moishe crazy or either trying to have people feel pity for Moishe. Moishe basically turned into a train wreck saying and think to himself that he felt crazy, crying all the time and just wanting people to believe in him. At that moment it really struck me with lot’s of emotion and anger as if I was there and nobody would listen to what I was trying to tell them, but i wasn't there  

For some reason I felt his pain i felt what he had to go thru like when I was young. If I got in trouble my parent’s they would never listen to my side of the story and i’ll be trying to tell my mom and beg for them just to listen to me hear out  what i got to say. They never did get the real truth it made me feel crazy it make’s me feel look crazy and  no one can understand me like they would never understand. I felt as if I was Isolated from other my voice of word doesn't count or doesn't  matter.

Freedom in my mind

Freedom means to me in my life as my dignity and who I am and what portrays me different from other people. Freedom to me means you are either under control of somebody or to follow in someone’s footstep. To not have freedom and to be lock up like the people that was inside the ghetto’s trap in a small house with different family they didn't even know I just couldn't even imagine. Mostly because I dislike being in small place with my friends anyway but to be in a small place with people I don’t know always seeing them every day having to be worried or not they would rob try to steal your food try to kill you to beating every day for no reason. It is terrible I just can’t imagine living in a world where stuff like that happen.

My Life Not Yours

The establishment of ghettos marked the end of freedom of movement for Jews.  Write about what freedom means to you in your life and what you think it would mean to lose it

What does freedom mean to me? Freedom means to me that I can go wherever I want and do whatever I want.  Freedom also means to have privacy in your own home.  Freedom also means to me that you can do whatever you want whenever you want. Also it means that you can go to school wherever or live wherever. In the ghettos, the Nazis took away the Jews’ freedom by closing them off in one little part in a city.  They also gave them an apartment with another family living there. They also used to go in their house and scare them like shooting them or like beating them up. And they killed people if they didn’t follow orders, like when the Nazis threw the handicapped man off the balcony in “The Pianist”. That is what freedom means to me and I know for a fact others in my community.
