"Do you like to read? Why or why not? What are the things you are interested in? Why is reading important?"

To be honest i hate reading. To me reading is boring too many words and its just a waste of my time. What i am interested in is having fun and not doing work. I also like to write, well most of the time, it depends in what mood i am in. Reading is important because, it helps you write also what it does is teaches you new words and sometimes it may teach you something new.

Reflection Journal (031010)

I read that Elie's foot got infected because of the cold. I notice that he has been strugalling a lot with this life that he has now. Now he is saying that he doesn't trust God anymore. He already lost his faith to the great one and only."I have more faith in Hitler than in anyone else. He alone has kept his promises, to the Jewish people." This has affected me some how, because how can he trust Hitler after all of the things that he has done to the Jews. I bet he even took them to the gallows.

Reflectio Jeurnol (030910)

In the beggining of the story i read about how the summer to them was comming to an end. It sed that the Jewish year was almost over, but what does that mean? It means that the last day of the curse is finally ending to the jews. They would endured all of the goods and give them the bad. " After all, this was a day unlike all others. The last day of the year. The word "last" had an odd ring to it. What if it really were the last day?". This quate realy hit me, because you could actually feel the fear that they have in them.

Vocabulary (030910)

Resurrected is like to revive the practice, use or memory of something. Also bringing someone back from the dead. The opposite of resurrected is dying. Elie wanted his parents to come back from being resurrected. I choose this picture of God because people believe that God has been resurrected from the dead.



Gallows- is where they executed the people. It is where people got hanged. Eli saw people get hanged at the gallows. This picture is an example of the gallows. I chose this picture because it shows exactly what the gallows is.

Reflection Jearnal (030810)

The advise that i give you is to be strong. I noe that its hard for you but you just have to strong about everything that is happening. I'm bewildered about all of that is happening. "I decited to give my father lessons in marching in step keeping time." Its always good to help, especially a loved one wich is family.
